7/10 Good! (1,008 reviews)
Place is old, feels like a nice hotel at first, but rooms are very dated. Also very confusing to navigate on arrival. No useful signage.

Amenities for kids with multiple pools and weekend poolside movies are great. Restaurant is underwhelming except for it’s convenience. First floor rooms have patios but choose the view that you want.

If your staying at a hotel for a decent charge, and the catch of extra charge for parking makes it about the same price for an excellent stay elsewhere with no surprise fees. Make the call where you want to stay

Ask the hotel if they have discount coupons or buy tickets online for discounted prices or call amusement park to see where to get their discount coupons like maybe from Burger King or from Coke products.
