La Quinta Inn and Suites by Wyndham at WaTiki Waterpark
Perfect sized waterpark for our 3 and 2 year olds! The hotel was clean and newly updated with easy access to the waterpark. The arcade was of course a hit too, and then we topped it off with dinner from the restaurant delivered right to our room. Definitely would recommend!
