“There is a self-service check-in on computer however, if you’re lucky there may be a man they’re available to help you if you have questions. It is difficult to find a valet upon check-in, but you can call to have a person bring a cart to you when you check out. This is good in case you have a lot of luggage to leave with. My room was plain and clean, although I didn’t go over it with a black light. lol. There is a pool a small amusement park, hello Kitty …”

It's smaller and more dated than some of the other locations but it was clean and it smelled good when you walked in. There was a show going on which was fun and there were a lot of places that you could shop around the casino for vacationy type things. I don't know if I will ever stay at this place, but we will surely go back next time we are in the a…”

“The location is good but definitely not up to par as a hotel. It advertises as a great family place but lacks credibility in person. The rooms were quite dirty & unappealing. There was a dead roach in the bathroom that was sitting inside of the bathroom artwork on the wall. The staff at check In was limited to two clerks. Our room was reserved online a month ago and we did not even get to stay in the correct room booked. They do not offer many cable channe…”

The towels were a little hard and stiff tho, the ice machine came in handy as the weather was around 110 everyday. There’s lots to do here and plenty of places to walk around to inside the hotel. The water park was so refreshing and it’s complementary to your hotel stay,…”

“We didn't stay at the hotel this visit, but we did spend the day there for my kid's birthday. We definitely racked up almost 12k tickets for her to spend. The director, Alan Kanter, was extremely helpful and accommodating. The service here truly made my kid's birthday special. We will definitely be back.”
