"We enjoyed our stay. It was vey clean and well taken care of. The hot tup, outdoor fireplace and amenities were great. "

"We recently stayed at Kartrite Waterpark & Resort and overall had a really great time, especially as a family with kids. We booked the king suite with the bunk room, and the space was more than enough for everyone—super comfortable and perfect for families. One of our favorite parts was the walkout patio to the courtyard. The fire pits and small obstacle course were such a hit with the kids—they were entertained the whole time. The staff was friendly and helpful throughout our stay, which we appreciated. However, check-in was definitely a downside. Our room wasn’t ready at the 3 PM check-in time, and we weren’t alone—the lobby was full of families waiting. With the waterpark closing at 7 PM, that delay cut into a big chunk of usable time, which was frustrating. The waterpark itself has a lot to offer and is great for kids of all ages as well as adults. There’s plenty to do, and overall it’s a fun environment. That said, the cleanliness really needs improvement. We noticed used band-aids, clumps of hair, and general debris on the floors throughout the park. The jet pool area in particular was very off-putting—there was visible garbage and debris at the bottom, and it honestly made it hard to even consider getting in. Overall, we had a good experience and made great family memories, but the cleanliness issues and check-in delay are areas that need improvement."

"Perfectly nice place. Very close to Hunter Mountain and still reasonably priced."

"My favorite getaway place! The design is impeccable. Service and amenities are top-notch. Parking is just outside your hotel room and the hotel Is in the best location. "

"N/A "

"This property looked as if it lacked maintenance. Ceiling tiles had water stains and the sheets on our bed had wet marks. Fridge only had 3 feet and would rock when opening door. Room was worn and felt dirty. Positives - staff was friendly and check in/out was hassle free. Water pressure was the highest I've seen, but these don't put weigh how dirty I felt staying in this room. I've been to Microtel before and was pleased but this Days Inn location I will not return. "

"The staff were very friendly and hospitable. It showed that they really cared about our comfort during the stay. The room was clean and cozy feeling. It was a great experience. "

"Clean room "

"Staff was great. My 3 star rating is only because there were no sign ups left when arriving for the 3PM check-in. Without this, for the sauna or infrared room; it leaves you to be "stealing time" where you can..(also feels a bit absurd for the rate you pay.) I had to scramble out of one solo sauna after first finding it empty, because a couple had booked it, and they told me they were also booked for the infrared (double dipping also leaves others without.) Feels unfair for another guest to contend with this. I used the "unscheduled" sauna by the pool, as suggested, which was pretty much always either in use, or had to be shared, ( in concept this is fine for me--but again, would have been nice if I had an opportunity to book my own time, to actually get that.) Food was fantastic. Kitchen has it going on. Although there was no coffee left after my sauna at 9:30AM, I asked & they very nicely got me a cup:) Pool is essential. There's also a hole in the floor of the cabin where the ac duct has to go out, but has an ill fit; I would suggest to property to consider customizing a small plug/screen/something around the duct there (so critters can't just climb in) and it would be a nice detail touch.. I will solve most of this next time by getting a bigger room & arriving earlier. I just worry that's part of the push (buy bigger, spend more.) Loved the meditation hut & apart from these details, had a very lovely time overall, thank you! "
