we rented 2 pool side rooms with another family. The rooms were 149.00 each and based on the condition of the room and pool areas it was very overpriced. This hotel needs many updates. Our bathroom door was rusty, and the base boards were dirty. We found 3 spiders in the room throught the evening, the front desk girl that... more

This is the second year in a row my extended family has stayed at the Adventureland Inn for a weekend in late May. The rooms were clean both times and this year we were in an updated room. I have no complaints about the rooms. The hotel is definitely family-oriented, so it can be noisy. The pools can get crowded... more

Very noisy until 11pm. Remodeled room was good. Shuttle to the park was quick and frequent. Great pools especially for young kids. Huge zero entry. Skip the overpriced Sunday brunch. $12.95 adult, $9.95 6-12, $5 0-5. $10 for a 6 year old?? Come on. We ordered pancakes off the menu instead and were warned they might take 25 minutes. 10... more

We checked in on a Friday afternoon around 1:30. The first thing we noticed was how friendly the staff was. We booked a pool side room. The staff recommended the "east" end since we were traveling with our 4 year old son. He was fascinated with the "nicely heated" pool,slides, and water shower. It is definitely geared towards young children.... more

My Mom and I got two side by side rooms for my daughter's 9th birthday party, her two friends and my other two children. We paid a higher price for poolside rooms. The rooms were so filthy I was afraid of having my kids eat their pizza and cake that we had brought into the room for the party; there... more

The hotel is outdated, the slides are in terrible condition, they have tons of workers that walk around and appear to do nothing which is why the rooms much be so expensive. We paid $170..not a 4-star by any means but the price is... not even a free buffet breakfast in the morning. more

We took my daughter and her friends for a birthday party. We stayed in a pool side room for $225 this included 2 small pizzas and a 2 litter of pop. They call this a birthday party package. We also had 5 girls and had to pay a extra $25 dollars for 2 children to swim in the pool. NOT... more

Overall we had a good experience at the hotel. We had a poolside room that had not got remodeled yet. They did have about half of the poolside rooms going through rennovations it looked like. I thought our room was very overpriced for the services that were included in our stay. The pool's were very overcrowded and are not all... more

Our family recently stayed at Adventureland Inn to go to Adventureland Park right "next door" to the hotel. We have stayed there in the past and have tried a few of the other hotels in the area, but this year we were very impressed with the changes that have been made to the hotel. In the past, we came to... more

Just returned from Adventureland Inn... Booked here because it was close to Adventureland theme park which was nice. The shuttle takes you over to the park which is very nice. The Bad thing is the hotel staff- at the front desk were all rude and I think the company needs to send them to a class on how to treat... more
