To expensive for the conditions
The lighting in the room was very dim. The tub was clogged and the bathroom very small. There wasn't any extra toilet paper. The room looked dated.

Lots of fun, just wish there wasnt the initial hiccup from Expedia not paying them 🙄. Still waiting on my refund from Expedia, but not the hotel's fault. The hotel staff were very accommodating and helped us figure out how to proceed with check in. Lots of fun things for the kids to do! Waterpark was so much fun!
