Stayed here for a Christmas party. So we didn't experience the water park, but our room was huge! Smelled nice & clean. Not old or dingy. Close to many amenities.
We stayed checking in rather late. Before arriving we were made aware as a double check pre arrival that we were aware the water park was closed. We were in the know and our intent for staying was a comfy large room for my large family. Upon arrival the front staff was super hospitable and most helpful when it came to our requests. Extending our stay was no issue as well! Thanks for the great impromptu stay
We stayed the night to use the water park and have a little get away weekend. The bed was excellent, and the water park definitely wore us out! (Too old?!?) The breakfast buffet for $13.50 was excellent, and we ate too much. I love having a fridge!
This is a nicely located Wyndham with great amenities for kids. The rooms seems used but still clean. If you are looking for spot for early teens and younger then this is a great option for fun indoors in winter.
Best hotel breakfast buffet we've ever had, shout out to Sandra for her great hospitality in the dinning room! The waterpark was very fun. The bed was harder than we prefer but we still slept okay.
The staff were wonderful and super nice. The room was beautiful and very clean. The beds were comfortable and the pillows were perfectly soft. The waterpark was a lot of fun. Plenty of parking and stores nearby. They put a lot of work into the place compared to many years ago. Keep up the great work!
Great place for a snowmobiling weekend with the kiddos! The staff are amazing! Especially Sandy! We had a great time at the water park, just wish it was open earlier on Friday while we had our free day! Rooms were decent! The windows are drafty so it was tricky keeping the temp consistent overnight. Will definitely be back
In a world of disappointing hotel rooms and service- this was a pleasant surprise!! We were treated so great by the staff, our room was clean and lovely- we will TOTALLY be back. Heads up the waterpark is weekends only- but worth the trip regardless! Thanks for hosting a great holiday stay!
