This is a nice hotel sized waterpark. The only challenge we had was determining when the waterpark was open. There were schedules listed in 3 different places on the website. They all conflicted. I got the "real" schedule from the front desk.

We are used to staying at Marriott and this hotel was not to our liking. We are not complainers but what stood out: the freeway noise was SO loud, the pillows were so lumpy we bought new pillows at Walmart after the first night, and kids were running and screaming down the halls until early morning hours (there is a water park here and kids everywhere on weekends). It showed signs of wear and needs a refresh. Might be fine for some but we would not return.

Health Hazard

Our room had water damage in the ceiling. It smelt horrible/unhealthy in there. Very humid and sticky. Bed had boogers on the blankets. They had no additional rollaway beds OR any pillows or any additional blankets. We could hear EVERYTHING in the hallways. The air conditioner was very loud and made a bad noise all night long. The pool area was very slippery and had no towels. I should have honestly left. When we finally got to sleep (3 am due to noise, we went to bed at 10:30), we woke up in the morning feeling like we smoked an entire pack of Marb Reds (none of us smoke) . Everyone’s lungs felt really heavy from the humidity or whatever else was in the air….. I won’t ever be returning. Also, they charge $100 for “incidentals” on top of the room charge. I wonder if I should send them a bill for the hospital bills I might accrue if this stuff doesn’t clear out of our lungs from staying here.
