I read all the latest reviews on this place and was very nervous to go, however we got a good deal for a room on groupon, so we were stuck using the coupon. I would like to start out by saying it is not as bad as I believed it would be based on the latest reviews. When you walk... More

Enjoyed our visit to the quaint little town of Amana. Lots of shopping, food, and spirits. Everyone is so friendly here. The Waterpark was nice. Cold, and the hot tub wasn't working but overall the stay was great. The kiddos had a blast and so did us adults.

We have been here many times in the past, but this was our last! Hot tub was not working, full of green water. Water slides were not turned on. Not enough staff. $200 for the room, which had black mold growing all over the bathroom ceiling! All vending machines and ice machines were out of order. Looked like they were... More

We have stayed at this hotel before, but it has been under new management. One big change, when checking in, was asked how many bands we needed for the waterpark. I said five, nothing was mentioned about an extra charge, and there hadn't ever been before. Upon checking out there was a huge charge for an extra band. I questioned... More

Stayed two nights with two kids(7 and 3 years old). Waterpark was good for the kids, not very big but, the 7 year old loved the water slides. There is a hot tub and a sauna for adults but, the pool was too small to swim in. Beds are comfortable and slept very well. The room was in a seperate... More

THE GOOD: All employees were very friendly and helpful. Reservations girls were very pleasant. Blond lifeguard watched the children and was very friendly. Waitress at restaurant, Laura, was super pleasant and hard working. Especially since they were short a cook and server. The watermark has a nice area for the very little babies where they can set and toddle around.... More

Stayed at this hotel towards the end of February. Our daughter likes to swim, and we thought a water park would be great. The photos seem to indicate a fairly large pool, so we were looking forward to our stay. Unfortunately, the pools are not very big. One is very shallow, perhaps a foot deep, where kids can splash around.... More

Will not return again to this hotel or waterpark. Hotel in general needs updating. Room was adequate, but overpriced. Check-in staff were not friendly or helpful. Waterpark area needs updated and better staffed. Hotel staff were not consumer friendly and one of the life guards was actually quite rude. On a Holiday weekend there was only one life guard working... More

We stayed with our daughter and grandson in January 2013 and had a wonderful time. I had read some of the less favorable reviews and was worried that this was not a good place to stay. We scouted it out before booking the room and found the poor rating reviews were just not in agreement with what we saw. The... More

This is the only choice hotel I've ever stayed in the did not have a free breakfast. I thought the facilities were nice, the rooms were newly remodeled as we were staying they were remodeling more parts of the hotel. The water park was also nice. I don't think some of the reviews on here accurate concerning the water park.... More
