Top Watiki Water Park Hotel Reviews

Foothills Inn

8/10 Good

"The room was clean and we would stay there again. However, the mattress needs to be replaced. Breakfast consisted of several choices of cold cereal, juices and a Jimmy Dean's microwave croissant sandwich. It was good enough to get us going. The property is older but okay. The front desk staff was very helpful and the person working breakfast was consistently cleaning the area and replenishing juices and milks as needed."

"I stayed here due to decent rates and other reviews. We went to the adjacent water park for a day which was right across the road. The other things to do in the area are fairly accessible from this location. A gas station is nice and close to which was convenient. The property is really clean and nice and the staff was also nice to deal with."
