The room was great and clean. Being able to water straight down the hall from the waterpark to our room made it very convenient when wanting to take a break for a little bit to snack.

We had a great time, unfortunately I’m quite positive there were bed bugs in our room; evidenced by seeing one single bug while there and getting several bites.
