Check in went ok. I had a girl who was training. She was very sweet. I really liked the room. I liked that it didn’t have carpet. Beds were comfortable. Tv was really nice too. Swimming area was fun. Pub was ok but slow. Not many people eat there and it was still slow. The breakfast that was included was not good. That was disappointing. Lack of protein. We were there for a hockey tournament our boys need protein. The hotel is renovating so maybe that was why the breakfast was bad. All the staff seem kind and friendly. The only lady that I noticed that was rude was the other lady checking another woman in.

I always find the rooms & facilitates to be clean & well maintained - staff is great and i love staying here! The only drawback - which can happens at any hotel, especially with a pool - is screaming kids running in the hallways

Hallways were very noisy at night as guests ran, yelled, slammed doors. Could hear neighbors coughing all night. Half the games in the arcade were out of order. The pub stopped serving food before 6:45pm when we went to eat. "Waterpark" area was very underwhelming. We appreciated that the hotel room was clean. Not worth the price of $250/night

The lobby was closed off for remodeling. Sad to hear they are getting rid of the wood, log cabin theme. Hope they keep the stone fireplace. That was a real draw.

Game room needs attention. It’s hard to have a bunch of kids get turned away because none of the games work or none of the prizes are left. Nothing worked for the most part

The overall stay was very enjoyable. Staff was amazing. Bartender needs a little more training but he was incredibly nice. Drinks way over priced of the quality of alcohol.
