Overall Score5.0/ 5
We stayed mid August 2023 and had a great experience. The room was clean and the bed was so comfy. The water park was perfect for little kids. It was big enough to have a good variety but small enough for me to keep track of them all. I highly recommend this hotel for families with young kids!

| Pool Info: But the biggest reason people visit us is for the exciting Rapid River Indoor Water Park that's located right inside our hotel. You'll enjoy quality family time that is all too hard to come by in these times. We have the 240 foot body slide and a 250 foot tube slide that comes out to a Lazy River that floats you effortlessly up and down water channels that even include a rapids area and a waterfall. Don't think for a second that kids can be too young for the Water Park. One entire half of the park is dedicated to younger children. We feature a zero depth entry on the kids end and it's only 18 inches at the deepest. It features smaller slides and attractions that younger children are absolutely fascinated with. They'll have a ball spraying Mom and Dad with the water hoses!! The edges of the kid's end are very close for parents that like to keep close watch. There's no age that is too young to enjoy our water park. | |
