Excellent hotel amenities for the middle of winter in Minnesota. Great for toddlers (Zero entry splash type area), young kids, teenagers and even adults with 2 water slides and lazy river
This was our 3rd weekend we’ve stayed. The room was great and clean, the waterpark was very clean and warm in there which was great. Staff were great help and kind, breakfast was great. No complaints. We had so much fun with our 3 year old twins! We can’t wait to go back!!
The waterpark was fantastic! Pools and the air temperature in the pool area aren't always warm enough for people to be comfortable, especially little ones. This place was warm (almost too warm at first but you do get used to it) and the pool temperature was perfect! The indoor hot tub was hot and the outside hot tub was just perfect.
Smaller water park then some of the neighboring facilities but it is very clean, bright, and well maintained. Like the zero entry pool for smaller kids. Loved the outdoor hot tub.
