I was hoping for a better room for the money paid. The resort center is extremely run down and needs TLC. The complex is huge and has a lot of activities to do, but the rooms are anything but attractive. First, we had no towels. I called 3 times and finally at 8 p.m. got some delivered. Second, the room... More

This place is completely run-down and is in need of some serious investment. The rooms looked tatty and worn, dirty marks on the walls, door carpet, bath, windows, curtains. No-one was waiting at reception, so had to ring a bell, and the rotund receptions came schlepping round the corner from the back-office and wasn't particularly pleasant (I must have interrupted...

Would stay again. Rooms were average but clean. Free shuttle to kings island was nice. Indoor pool was nice when it started to rain.basketball, corn hole, two swimming pools, a bar for the adults and many other ammenities makes this place a great choice when traveling with family.

We actually enjoyed this resort very well. The swimming pool was great and tons of fun. I didnt care that is was a outdoor resort I feel much safer indoors. But they have a shuttle over to kings island and it is a fun short ride. The rooms are out dated and small but the pool and everything else makes... More

This once nice facility is now showing it's age. The place really needs a face lift. Several places showing wall/ceiling damage and outdated paint and carpet. The staff where average. The Continental Breakfast was probably the best part of the stay. Overall not bad for the low price.

My family only stayed one night in this awful place. If we had not arrived so late at night with two small children, we would have searched for another hotel. The room that we were given had mold around the top and bottom edges of the walls. The bathroom floor and the tub were covered in hair. The blankets looked... More

We choose this hotel for its location and ease in getting around; it was quiet and close to everthing we needed. It didn't have all the Bells and Whistles of the "Kids Hotels" that were located nearby, but it did have the comfort that we were looking for. Yes it's old and it does show it; repairs to fixtures are... More
