Room was immacualte and staff gave me a feree upgrade becasue I checked in for conference early.
This was my second stay at this hotel. I booked here a second time because I wanted to give them a second chance and because we had a wedding next door in the river center. They wouldn't give a different rate without waterpark passes since we knew we wouldn't use the waterpark. The price is insane compared ot other hotels in the area and the service is slow and unfriendly. I will never stay here again aand wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
We reserved a room for a winter get away kids 4 kids. The weekend we were to go there was a snow storm. that was within 72 hrs of check-in and they tried to charge the full amount instead of changing the date--and they still charged us the increased rate. During the stay, we were at the pool 15 minutes before seeing a young child (5?) lying on the side of the pool, blue, not moving, not breathing. Nobody helping. Disgusting. Not to mention bad food, rude people, not enough luggage carts. I will never go back.
The check-in is screwed up. Come in on 1st floor(no doorman, manual doors, no carts) check-in on 2nd floor. Extremely long wait times at elevator. Restaurant service is slow. Long wait in waterpark for food. Locker rooms very dirty. Fitness center equipment was broken.
The waterpark is fun for adults and children, it is a great place to get away or plan a reunion.
