![]() All four kids went home with tons of prizes and were over the moon about actually winning more than a tootsie roll or bouncy ball. All of the machines seemed to win more than lose and would then spit tickets like crazy. We probably spent about $10-12 a kid and they each literally got 100s of tickets. At first we hesitated to let them go in because we figured it'd just be a money pit but it actually didn't turn out to be your typical rip-off arcade. Arcade: this was a definite hit for our kids. But did I mention they were short on towels? Staff member Michelle noticed we were waiting on towels and personally sought us out to delivery freshly washed, warm towels as soon as they were available. ![]() ![]() The biggest downfall of the water park was not enough tubes or towels (they could easily fix this and I hope they do!). Hot tub could definitely have been hotter but seems like this is the norm at water parks. Water Park: on the small side but this was nice for us because we always knew where our kids were even when we weren't right next to them. For two moms with two kids each (ages, 11, 8, 4 & 4) just looking for a late spring getaway without breaking the bank this place was just right! Rooms: updated, clean, free breakfast (pretty decent too), super short walk to water park which is SO nice for parents who are constantly running back for something. Please keep in mind, Surfari Joe's in no Great Wolf Lodge but they also aren't advertising to be & they certainly aren't charging the same rates. I've read the reviews before mine and yes, there are some things they could improve on but there's also a lot of good to be had at this hotel. And then there was Michelle in the water park who really made it a great time for us & our kids. Renee at the front desk greeted us with a smile, an early check-in and lots of helpful information she could not have been nicer. With that said, the staff gets 5 stars for their friendliness & customer service. This place really could be 5 stars with just a little more attention to details.
