Relaxing Escape

I had the opportunity to use the spa facilities during my weekend getaway, and it was a truly rejuvenating experience. The hot tub was perfectly heated, and the sauna was impeccably maintained. I left feeling relaxed and refreshed—a perfect addition to my stay.

Cozy Comforts

The room we stayed in featured an electric fireplace that created a cozy ambiance during the evening. It was perfect for relaxing after a long day of exploring, and made for a warm, inviting environment as we enjoyed our time indoors.

We had a fun time at the hotel mainly because of the awesome water park that kept the kids entertained. While the check-in process was a bit chaotic, the rooms were spacious and well-kept. The dining options were decent, but we had a few hiccups with service during busy times, particularly at the pizza place. Overall, a great place for families with some room for improvement on service during peak hours.
