Family-focused reviews and ratings
This place is great. The pool and the hot tub were amazing, and the staff was super friendly and helpful. The breakfast was really good, with lots of choices. I'd come back again!
Our family had a mixed experience. The hotel itself was very clean, and the front desk staff were incredibly helpful, going above and beyond to accommodate our needs. However, housekeeping could have been better, and there were a few minor issues.
Had a blast! Pool's the best part, kids loved it. Breakfast was good but ran out of stuff on day two.
Great family trip! The pool was a major highlight, we spent hours there. The staff were super helpful and friendly, and breakfast was delicious, especially the cinnamon rolls! Everything was very clean.
Our family had a wonderful time! The kids loved the indoor water park, and we all enjoyed the spacious rooms and delicious breakfast. The staff was always friendly and helpful.
