Wonderful waterpark, Kids loved it. The rest of the facility was just ok. Breakfast buffett was WAY overpriced for what it was. Have had better complimentery buffetts at chain hotels. Refridgerator in our room was not cold enough to keep milk from spoiling. Prices in their little store are ridiculous. $2.50 for a 20 oz. bottle of soda or $1.25... More

I read the reviews after booking an overnighter for our troop - I was scared! However, our visit was wonderful. First, check-in was speedy and friendly. I had 4 people ahead of me and the wait was about 2 minutes. It was no problem to ask and receive 5 room keys. The room (Angel Canyon 2 floor villa, which holds... More

I sent my Daughter, her husband, and their 3 kids to Fort Rapids Waterpark as a combined Birthday gift, well they did have a good time, but to me would have been unacceptable. The suite was kinda messy, not really pleasant, my oldest Grandson has Cerebral Palsy, and he loves to get in the hot tub, they wouldnt allow him... More

All the reviews on this site are accurate. Our kids enjoyed the waterpark very much, there are some safety issues but it looked like they were being worked on when we were there. The rooms are out-of-date, unclean, and just plain shabby looking. Several times we had to have our key replaced because the locks are crappy. The one available... More

We are sorry to hear that you were unhappy with your stay at our property. We do apologize for any issues that you encountered, including your situation with your key cards. Sometimes cell phones and even other credit cards can 'demagnetize' the cards where they won't work properly. Unfortunately, fire codes do restrict us from putting roll away beds in... More

The room initially was cute and my 2 oldest loved to bunk beds until we actually put our luggage down and stayed awhile longer. There was an underlying odor which I can now only assume was fumes from bug spray from earlier complaints. The room was dark, bathroom old, cold water to shower in and we were the only ones... More

Don't let the address fool you. This is by no means a Hilton property. Once we checked in, I had maintenance in my room 3 times. Once for the TV remote, but twice for the lock on the door. Plus we had no towels or ironing board in the room. Housekeeping knocked on the door at 10:30 PM to bring... More

We booked a night for our family, two adults and two kids ages 6 and 7. My better half had a conference in Columbus over the weekend for work so we decided to make a fun weekend out of it and chose Fort Rapids. Didn't bother to look up any reviews.
