wow wish I had red the reviews before I went. lets see the hotel from the outside looks like its falling apart. greatly needs a face lift.. when we went in.. the front doors didn't slide all the way open..first sign of trouble... we got the water park pass while we waited for the rooms. I noticed the carpets were all dingy and probably 5 years past needing to be replaced. We went down to the arcade and got a the 30$ card.. then went to check out the water area... at first sight I noticed a large area for children, lots of the sprayers were not working.. and the lazy river was shut down... wow..really? walked around to the grown up slides, 3 of them. 2 for inner tube use and 1 for body sliding.. all the tubes are in the dark.. cant see the turns or enjoy the ride.. just bang this side,,bang that side.. and out to the catch area.. went 3 times and was bored.. I then looked for anything else for grown ups.. only thing was the hot tubs area.. the water smelled bad and seemed like it needed to be cleaned.. both the hot tubs area and the regular water.... then the lazy river opened up.. and it was nice for about 5 min.. then all the kids unwatched came and were swimming under you, pushing you, and just going crazy with no attention from the resort to make it fun for everyone... so I left that and went to the hot tubs to get away from being mauled. the hot tubs were nice but like I said , the water smelled and I felt like I needed to get washed off , but the room wasn't ready so I had to endure it... after about an hour even our younger one was bored and also said the water smelled. the resort didn't seem to have enough people watching or correcting the other kids and she had been pushed and hurt her toe.. we went to the first aid area.... and .. . no body was there.. what nobody at the first aid area? we waited a few min and decided to go out to the car since the room still wasn't ready.. outside we talked and found that none of us were happy or impressed with the substandard water area. the carpets there were also terrible .. we went to ask for our money back and the water park area manager ..I assumed she was the manager.. seemed disinterested and pretty much poopooed us off... the women said in the women's bathroom/ changing room there was human feces on the floor and nobody taking care of it...YUKKKKK... so thinking we were going to have a great 2 days of water park fun.. and bored in 30 min.. we decided this sucked and just wanted to go back home.. the hotel did refund the majority of the money as we hadn't been able to check into the room... after seeing the disrepair of the lobby, walk areas, outside.. I was kind of scared to see what the rooms looked like... so we left and headed back home.. I had more fun at the ymca water park than here...at such a less cost... so if your wanting water park fun.. go to GREAT WOLF LODGE.. it may cost 100$ more but its 3 times the size and much better stay.... lets see.. so the attendants were below par.. OH! and the arcade.. don't think its all that ..when I went in .. it was a lot of the gimmick games rigged not to give prizes but once in awhile.. little claw that drops down to grab things.. the claws wouldn't close when they started rising.. no way u can win..some of the electronic games were timed so you couldn't even get close to the winning good items.. some of the games required tokens.. some required using a resort card.. some took cash .... so it was such a pain going around getting the items you needed ... there were a couple shooting games, and roll the ball games... but generally cruddy... go to the mall if you want arcade.. no pool table nothing for the adults to enjoy... I guess you got the idea..... enough.. never again.. stay away and save your money.. or go to another place... I couldn't believe a holiday inn could be in that condition...wow... like a 100 year old building that was terrible to look at .. and dingy on the inside.. look at someone elses review of the rooms... I didn't chance it !!!!!!!!!!
