Booked a split queen ended up in a split double. Not world ending but 2 teenage girls in a double and 2 adults in another is a lot tighter than what I would like

Look further.
Well right off the start, they stick you with a unexpected $50 deposit regardless of having prepaid online or not, the room was not clean, my kids found old candy under the couch, pool was cold, hot tub luke warm. Not much for the kids to do in the shallower end, basically only the slides. The room was nice and spacious but the heat/ac had a horrible smell. Breakfast was 6-9am, food was OK, but they started taking it out of the line about 8:45, even while families and kids were still entering to grab something quick.. staff was rude, made you feel uncomfortable and unwelcome. Overall I would not recommend it or try it again. This was the 2nd time being disappointed. Check out the other 2 water parks if you’re looking for a water park. You definitely get what you pay for…

MEA wknd
Our family of five styed for one night over MEA wknd. waterpark was a lot of fun! Rooms could use a bit of updating. Beds were uncomfortable as were the pillows. Loud mattress protectors. We did enjoy our stay ultimately just a few suggestions regarding the rooms/beds.

One and Done
Not so good. We were put in a room next to very noisy kids. The front desk was notified but no change by 10:30 pm. Started again at 7:00 am. More awareness at the front desk would be helpful - but we will never return.

Botched Reservation
Check in was horrible. Made me late to a work dinner. Did not show a reservation for me and made me pay again even with the receipt I had prepaid from Hotels.com. After dinner I checked in with a different person who found the reservation on Expedia. Apparently it comes to them that way and the first person was unaware of that. The next day they refunded my money. The worse part is I could not locate a Hotels.com phone number to call when my reservation was missing. The chat bot sucks. I have had this happen in the past and always had a good phone response with Hotels.com customer service. Since the change this company has really gone downhill and I will no longer be booking through this site. The Lodge was fine but I was only there for a brief overnight stay. By the way the rate at the Lodge was $93 versus the $130 I paid on this site. And that was using some of my points. So much for a discount!
