The Adventureland Inn is an adventure in poor service, hasn't been updated in decades and is one of the ugliest places that we've ever stayed. Bedding reminded us of the linens used in the 70's, bugs welcomed us on the floor, the coffee pot didn't work, the shower needed an instruction manual, and we simply couldn't wait to leave. more

They help was terrible rude. They refused to help with problems. place is only interested in makeing a buck. They refuse to take cash! Directions were a joke. Go stay at a place close by. there are lots of them. At least they, the other places, act like management there wants your business more

Stayed at this hotel July 31, 2009 - found the hotel was nice, great pools and spa area. Front desk staff was good at check in. Went to check out and had people allowed by desk staff allow others to cut in line, although initially only one person of the group was in line in front of me, others showed... more

This is a great place to stay for a fun time with kids. The pools are great and the water temp was awesome. It's also very convenient that there are restaurants on site. We had an outer side room away from the pools. All the furnishings in the room seemed brand new along with the tile and carpet. We chose... more

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
