Sad
Please listen to the reviews and do not stay here. It’s disturbingly disgusting and ran down. I stayed here so many times throughout my childhood so I really didn’t listen to the reviews but I was completely shocked at the appearance of the hotel and was so ready to check out and get back home where I felt safe and clean again.

Maybe try elsewhere
The staff was very nice and helped me with any questions I had. They gave my family rooms right next to eachother like I requested. The rooms were worn down and very outdated there was on table and one nightstand but nowhere else to set anything other than on the mini fridge. The flooring was coming up, the windows were gross, and the beds were extremely uncomfortable.

The hot tub was cold and they let lots of kids and people all at once splash around and horse play so nobody could enjoy and relax. The rooms was super dirty and not picked up. Some pools was closed. On the wing we booked our room, the pool was closed.

We went there with friends so the kids could swim and play, way too many bday parties, water was cold, and only one pool open! They should only allow one bday party at a time, hire workers, and figure out a better way to make customers happy! 20% isn’t much!!

Lobby area was updated & clean. Carpet in hallway of rooms was very stained. I knew ahead of time, from reviews, that sounds from pool area & hallways were loud & could be heard in the room, so I can’t complain since I knew ahead if time.

Beds were ok, liked that the room wasn’t carpeted, shower curtain and bath towels were stained, breakfast was unexpectedly good, more of a buffet style breakfast. Hotel and hallways could use an update. Overall a good or ok Value for your money if you plan ahead.

Don't stay here
Worst hotel stay ever, depressing actually. This hotel is very rundown, dirty, bedding is a joke. Carpets have giant stains through out. Same trash was left in the hallways for days. Pool with swim up bar and hot tub in that area were also very dirty. We were to stay for three nights and we could not stay the final night. We left and I paid for a room elsewhere with no money back. Was 💯 worth it too, sad this hotel has been let go this long. Adventureland theme park was a beautiful, clean, well kept place. This hotel doesn't deserve to share the name.

Cleanliness was an issue
Apparently, because we booked through Expedia, they would not upgrade our rooms to be closer to the pool. Instead, we were on the backside of the building, and the carpets in the hallway were absolutely filthy, with stains all over. The rooms were very basic and after seeing the hallway, we were not feeling real good about how clean the rooms were, although they were ok. The TV did not work in our room, And the shade came down from the top, so we could not look outside unless we opened the entire shade over the patio door. I will say the people that worked there were all very friendly and tried to be accommodating.

State fair trip 2024
Our stay was good. The check in process was quick and easy. The pool was right out our door, that was awesome for our kids. The only drawbacks we had were that the pool area was so warm and humid that at times it felt uncomfortable as well as when we asked for more towels they told us that 4 of their washing machines were broken so if they had towels they would try to bring them to us. My kids loved the arcade that was onsite.
