Overall, a pretty great time!
Review From: Charli, Jun 9, 2008
Just got back from an overnight trip
with my sister, nephew, daughter and
2-yr-old grandson.
Overall, we had a great time!
I was impressed with the attentive
lifeguards, and the variety of water
fun. Plenty of places for the 2-yr-old
to play, the slides were fun, too.
I found it to be clean - and even when
there was a kid who befouled the kiddie
pool, they were quick to get everyone
out and get it cleaned up.
A few things they could improve upon...
the water temp in the kiddie area was
chilly! My grandson had blue lips after
about ten minutes. The lazy river was
warm.
Also, it was hard to get a tube. There
was no place to go to get one. You had
to just kind of wait around til someone
abandoned theirs.
I think it would be more practical to
have more than one guard at the top of
the slides to coordinate things. The
line would get held up while the only
guard up there had to help get a tube
rider going down the slide.
But really, it was nice... a great way
to spend a cold, snowy weekend.
One more thing... I would *not*
recommend going to "Bench Warmers"
(attached to the hotel) to eat. We
stood by the (empty) desk in the
entryway for about five minutes before
someone looked over and said "Oh, go
ahead and sit down." (A simple "seat
yourself" sign would have been nice!)
Then it took FOREVER to get our food,
even though it wasn't crowded. I got a
chicken sandwich (dry, with wilted
lettuce), and we had to ask (after 15
mins) if the appetizer was coming.
(Nachos - which were gross, by the way.
Dried out meat of some sort, and
overbaked shredded cheddar on top. Yuck.)
We had to flag down the server (who was
just sitting over by the bar) to get
refills, and had to ask twice for the
baby's drink... not a great place to
eat at all, if you ask me.
BUT...Five of us ate for $40 (including
the free meal for the baby), so the
price wasn't bad, but the service was
really bad.
