We planned a Saturday night stay here for 22 people, 5 families. I would say it was a good experience but not excellent. We arrived before check in, around 2 pm to use the waterpark and 1 of the 5 rooms was ready. We used this room to get the majority of us ready and hang out at the waterpark... More

I did not have a chance to visit the waterpark. We had a nice corner king room on the fourth floor (an upgarde because I am a platinum Holiday Inn Priority Club member). It was nice and quiet, but the hotel was overrun with families and children. The elevator was out of service when I checked in, and we had... More

We stayed For Easter weekend. The buffet was excellent even had a magician. The waterpark staff was excellent. The waterpark was packed. There were some bossy parents and kids around. The security guard at night was very kind. The elevator is the slowest elevator ever. The stairs are close.

This is a newer facility that has missed the mark in several areas. With a waterpark it's a great family destination. With a waterpark it's a poor business destination. You couldn't escape the water. You'll find it even outside of the waterpark in the hallways, elevators, restrooms, etc. You'll also find bits and pieces of trash and food in the... More

I traveled over the Thanksgiving weekend with my parents (in their 70's) and aunt & uncle (in their 60's). We reserved three rooms and the hotel made sure the three rooms were all together (two connected).

We were visiting the waterpark for the afternoon with a group of friends. Our boys were having a great time until they decided to visit the hot tub. Upon entering the tub, all three boys felt their chests get heavy, began coughing, and felt as though they couldn't breath. The coughing was crazy and they threw up. They weren't even... More
