This hotel shines in its family-friendly atmosphere and the enjoyable indoor water park, making it a great spot for kids. The staff were incredibly accommodating, providing us with breakfast bags to go when we had to leave early, which was a delightful surprise. However, the breakfast area could use better management during busy hours, as it became chaotic and messy. Also, the renovations are ongoing, which caused some minor inconveniences. Overall, it was an enjoyable experience, especially for families.

I had a decent stay at this hotel. The location is great, especially with the connected water park that my daughter really enjoyed. However, the rooms are showing signs of age, and there was quite a bit of noise from nearby activities, which made things a bit uncomfortable. The breakfast had some nice options, but could use a bit more variety. Overall, it was a fair deal considering the amenities available.

This hotel is a decent choice, especially for families due to the attached water park, which the kids really enjoyed. The cleanliness of the hotel was appreciated, but the breakfast options were lacking and could use some improvement. The room was comfortable, but I did find it a bit dated. While the experience was overall satisfactory, I'd think twice about returning due to the price and service issues.
