Everything was great, except for WiFi and a few other small things. WiFi was terrible which made it difficult to even watch TV. The TV kept turning off randomly. They had a wedding in the open area which made it very loud in hall with kids running late into the night and loud music that could be heard throughout the hotel. Pool was closed for portion of the time and hot tub was down most of the time.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Our room was infested with ants, roaches and spiders. Additionally, one of the bathroom toilets was broken, therefore we wasn’t able to use the bathroom the entire stay! When we asked for room service related services such as clean towels, we were informed that we had to come and get the items ourselves. The water park itself is very small (I would not recommend for children 10 )! On top of that we often had to wait 30-45 minutes for dry towels at the pool. We definitely will never come back to this establishment again!
