They put us in the wrong room and had to switch at 1am. It’s pretty expensive for what you get. No complimentary breakfast. Outrageous fees for it being a resort plus we got charged for an extra person and cleaning fees. Not very kid friendly - people constantly pounding on the floor below us because our kids were just walking around.

We loved our stay at Thumper Pond. We stayed on a Thursday night and had the entire waterpark to ourselves for several hours that evening as well as the following morning. Staff was friendly, helpful and welcoming. Was price friendly for a last minute stay with plenty of activities for us and our kids to enjoy.

My room had wall paper that was peeling off the walls and was very stuffy. It also had red stains on the carpet. There was plenty of space in the room and the bed and pillows were comfy.

We were on the second floor. About 5 or 6 in the morning we could hear stomping on the floor above us. Very irritating. We stay here often and was the worst food I have ever had at a restaurant. The ribs were terrible. We did not go there for breakfast. We were in the most northly part of the building and the girl told us parking out front was just as close as parking out back. She couldn't have been more wrong. I just got a new hip so we finally realized it was much closer to park in the north lot where our room was. Worst stay at Thumper ever. We heard it got worse with the new owner a year ago. ???

Not so good :(
We were in room 313. The room had an odor. The bathroom ceramic floor had several cracked tiles. The bathtub faucet wobbled and never completely turned off so water ran all night. The sink faucet sprayed sharp streams of water so that it splashed all over the counter and our clothes. It took five minutes running water to get it hot. The bathroom light switch included the fan which was so noisy it would wake anyone sleeping. Twice I stood at the desk 7-8 minutes before someone came. The price we paid per night did not reflect our experience at your hotel!

It was a quiet and beautiful place to stay. I was there for a wedding didn’t much like that they had no air conditioning or ceiling fans in the reception area. It was unbearably hot in there. But other wise she had a beautiful amazing wedding with delicious food

The waterslides in pool not open. To be fair the electricity went out in pool area. Then later on in the whole hotel. Then next morning only one of the 2 waterslides were open. Kids were disappointed.
