Great, clean & modern family hotel with water park

This is a nice hotel. Very classy, clean, and welcoming. Our room was clean, spacious, and functional. The bed was comfortable. The water park is great. The water is actually warm! The water slides are fun. The water park is very clean, not too busy, with great hours. This is a great places for families. I also loved the fitness room! So many different machines, also very clean. There is a Starbucks inside the hotel, so this made getting coffee that I ordered through the app super easy. Definitely recommend this place when you’re traveling through Nebraska.

Great rooms! Hotel experience not great.

The room was amazing! Unfortunately the whole experience wasn’t. Very nice hotel! Rooms are specious and bedding is very comfortable. We chose this hotel because my husband attends various conferences there and loves it! Thought it would be fun to take the family because of the water park and it’s not too far from home. The waterpark was overcrowded and made it impossible to even get in the water. There are tables and chairs set up outside of the waterpark area which appear to be intended for parents to observe their kids. During our stay this area was full of parents having their own fun. There were empty beer cans and boxes littering the area making it dangerous to even walk through. Children were running through the hotel unattended. The arcade area was completely trashed with candy wrappers, empty fast food containers and wet towels from the waterpark. Children were throwing toys and candy at eachother. My husband and I were the only two adults in the area. The elevators had food on the floors and multiple times when we were going to the fifth floor we had to stop at every other floor because the riders before us had pressed the button for every other floor. Please remember, we chose this hotel because we thought our family would have fun there with the family friendly amenities. Unfortunately disrespectful others, unattended children and drunk adults ruined our experience. Aside from the gentleman who checked us in I did see another staff member during our stay there.

Great stay. The room was very clean upon arrival and had no problems arriving early. The beds are very comfortable w/ great pillows. We used the pool and it was super fun. They had 2 lifeguards on duty and were helpful with our little ones getting them life jackets and floaters. We will most definitely stay there on future visits.
