Do not stay here! Found live cockroaches, dead Beatles, holes in blankets, outlet exposed with broken cover, dead bugs on the floor. One staff was nice the other refused to do anything for us.

Very quite area, easy to get in and out with a car, but not idea for a large truck. We did not have room service clean at all, not because we refused but because no one came while we were out. Again we only stayed the weekend not a huge deal. Lots of local offers for you to save some money. I didn’t make it to the water parks but my three daughters did, they said it was fun. 14-18 years old. Nothing wild and crazy but a cool perk for free!
