I had a very disappointing experience at this hotel. The staff's handling of my reservations left me frustrated, especially concerning the check-in process for my guests. Although the location offers proximity to various attractions and the water park is a fun touch for families, the overall service was subpar which significantly marred our stay. I expected more given the price we paid.

Our stay at Arrowwood Lodge was a delightful experience, especially for our family gathering. The staff were exceptional, making us feel welcomed and recognized, creating a warm atmosphere. The kids loved the water park, which provided hours of fun. However, the dining options were a bit underwhelming and could use improvement, particularly at breakfast. Overall, the value for family activities was great, but the room lighting issue and the dark decor could be enhanced.

We had a wonderful family Christmas tradition at this resort! The staff were genuinely kind and made us feel special, especially Shawn who recognized us from previous visits. The water park was a hit with the kids, and the dining options at the Baxter Bar and Grill were enjoyable. However, the suite we stayed in had a few drawbacks such as a strange smell and the configuration of the bathrooms. Overall, it was a great place for a festive family gathering, but a few improvements could be made.

While the resort has a lot of potential with spacious rooms and a fun water park, my stay was marred by some frustrating experiences, especially regarding customer service and the dining options. The room we stayed in was large and had a nice layout, but our overall experience was impacted by issues like early check-in confusion and a disappointing breakfast. I appreciate the atmosphere for families, but the lack of quality in certain areas really took away from the experience.

However, the additional charges for the water park were frustrating, and the breakfast options left much to be desired. The cleanliness of the hotel was a plus, though; there are definitely areas that could improve.
