"The location is great and the grounds are beautiful. The water park is a huge asset and kept kids ages 1-12 entertained for 4 days. The food was sadly not as good as it once was, but the staff was friendly and helpful. The pool and hot tub area were closed while we were there for maintenance but we still had a good time. Rooms have what you need but our room was near the elevator which was a little noisy."
