Reviews and Ratings
I had a disappointing experience at this hotel. While the staff was friendly and the pool area was decent, the rooms were outdated and not very clean. The price felt too high considering the state of the facilities, and I left feeling like I should have chosen a different place. Overall, not ideal for a comfortable stay.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The pool area was a blast, and the girls enjoyed the arcade and the fun activities. However, the check-in process was frustrating, and the noise level late at night was bothersome. Overall, it has its perks, but the issues I faced impacted my stay significantly.
After our recent stay, I can confidently say the hotel turned out to be much better than I initially expected. We were pleasantly surprised by the cleanliness and comfort of the rooms, even though they were somewhat outdated. The numerous family-friendly facilities, especially the pools and arcade, made our experience enjoyable. However, I did notice some areas in need of improvement, particularly regarding the overall maintenance and cleanliness in specific spots.
My family stayed at the Adventureland Inn for a fun trip, and while it worked for our needs, there are definitely some areas that need improvement. The pools were entertaining for the kids, and the room provided a little extra space for us, but cleanliness and certain amenities could be better considering the price we paid.
My recent stay at this hotel was a mixed bag. On the upside, the accommodations are fun for kids and it’s quite close to Adventureland, making it a great choice for families. However, I found the overall cleanliness of the place to be quite lacking, which really impacted my experience. The restaurant offered decent food at fair prices, but the room quality needs serious improvement.
