8/10 Very Good! (1,007 reviews)
It was ok, a lot of things weren’t working in the arcade, waterpark is a little outdated, bottom of the pool was dirty, breakfast staff in kitchen were rude. The room was nice and big and clean for the most part! It was fun however I wouldn’t spend 260 on one night ever again.

Breakfast ran out of some items ...
