Summary: It was pretty gross. But a lot of people around us seemed to enjoy it. But i wouldnt go back.
Aug 20, 2025 01:55:58 AM
Summary: Our room had not been vacuumed, the thermostat was broke in our room, the “sports bar” couldn’t serve alcohol and the pool bar closed at 9pm. Was told we weren’t allowed to bring our own beverages into the pool area, the pool bar bartender was not behind the bar working many times of our 3 hours in the pool area. The next morning, the pool opens at 9am (let’s be honest it wasn’t staffed until 930) while the pool staff was friendly and rotated frequently, they shut the pool down at noon for an hour so they could all go on break. If you have 5 people staffing the pool to rotate, take your breaks while off rotation. Many things about this place could definitely be improved!!! Cool setup for the kids, comfy bed and food ordered from restaurant was decent but again, many things could definitely be improved.

Summary: We booked to stay during the state fair with our 3 year old. The hotel is older, for sure. Certainly not a luxury establishment. That said, though, our rooms were clean. The AC worked very well in our room, almost freezing us out the first night until we adjusted it. Our room opened to the waterpark so we felt the humidity and smelled the chlorine when we opened that door, but we didn’t have a dampness or humidity issue in our room at all. Door C was broken so you didn’t need a keycard to get in, the guest laundry on the second floor was out of order, and the hallway carpets were kind of ripped up in a few spots. But the kid pool was warm and the pirate ship was so fun for my kid. I think understanding up front that you’re not staying at Great Wolf lodge helps manage expectations, and as long as you do that the stay was fine. We did have dinner through the on-site restaurant and the wings were very good. For it being 98 deg out this week and the state fair in town, it wasn’t too busy and served us just fine. Well stay again I’m sure. Staff were very helpful and friendly, so that was a plus!

Summary: Everything was good! The rooms are a little dated, but for the price that was to be expected. Our two year old absolutely loved the water park.
Jaclyn Aug 11, 2025 09:22:41 PM
Summary: If you have any breathing issues, stay away. Poor ventilation, rooms stink horribly because of it as well as everything in room is damp. Mold and mildew on every liner of every pool. Tiny mini fridge in room. Outdated and in need of repairs everywhere.
Kylie Aug 11, 2025 05:54:20 AM
Summary: The pool/water park was fun but it was full of mold everywhere you looked. The halls smelled so bad. The fridge in our room smelt like something died it in. Everything in our room was damp. The free breakfast was pretty ghetto. It was set up on folding tables and not very many options.
Hollie Aug 10, 2025 11:30:26 PM
Summary: Great place.
Roberta Aug 5, 2025 05:34:48 PM
Summary: Piced 4 pm check in time went at 4:30 to check in room wasn't ready housekeeping didn't go in the room Saturday to remove garbage leave clean towels and clean room carpet was wet when checked in couldn't get coffee in the morning until restaurant opened paint peeling in the room wasn't impressed with room for how much I paid had one part of pool closed pool was late opening on Sunday
Jodi Aug 4, 2025 09:16:12 PM
Summary: Bed was a little to firm for us. It was a bit to noisy. Kids running in the hallway at 11pm.
Peggy Jul 29, 2025 12:39:11 AM
Summary: We can look past the firealarm getting pulled in middle of the night.. But, no breakfast without warning-nor apologies. It is 2025 We had higher expectations for the location
