Not worth the money even...

Liked: Location and the water slides
Disliked: Room had mold smell. Water in the walls pushing paint out. Pool and hot tub are definitely out dated at this point. Went here 10 years ago it has went down hill since then.

Decent for the price

Liked: The staff was very friendly and helpful. Pools were pretty decent for kids.
Disliked: Kids brought toys (water blasters, pool noodles) to the pool and were very inconsiderate of other people in the pool. The policy should be, no toys are to be brought into the pool area. It was very irritating
