Snel Overzicht: A loud, chlorine-scented family factory that delivers on fun but struggles with consistency in cleanliness and quiet.
Beoordeeld door @brittsgoodgetaways: I took the family here to escape the Michigan freeze. The waterpark is legit—my kids were obsessed with the climbing wall and slides. The rooms are simple, but we barely spent time there. Best part? The sauna while the kids played. Solid weekend trip.

Reality check
You are paying for the waterpark access, not a luxury hotel room — expect worn carpets, thin walls, and hallways that sound like a playground.
- You have energetic kids under 14
- You want a self-contained vacation with food, arcade, and pool on-site
- You plan to spend 90% of your time in the water
Schoonmaak & Onderhoud
6
- Housekeeping: Inconsistent. Some guests report daily service, others say rooms were missed. High turnover means rushed cleaning.
- Bathroom hygiene: Hit or miss. Reports of cold showers, hair left in tubs, and mold in grout lines appear in recent reviews.
- Maintenance: Showing age. Peeling paint, worn carpets, and broken arcade games are common complaints.
- Linens & towels: Towels are often described as small and scratchy. Bedding is standard hotel grade.
- Odors & scents: Strong chlorine smell throughout the property. Some rooms have a lingering musty/damp odor.

Tips van Insiders
- ✨
The 'Nbakade' restaurant is decent, but the shuttle to the Casino opens up much better dining options like Ruth's Chris or the buffet.
- ✨
Pack a separate bag with swim gear for arrival day so you can hit the pool while waiting for your room (which might not be ready at 4 PM sharp).
- ✨
There is a Starbucks right next door if the hotel coffee doesn't cut it.
