Very average
This hotel is in a great location for the park, even better, we had a fantastic view of fireworks from our balcony. The hot water was hit and miss. We put in a service call the first night we arrived for the morning, but then it was hot again so we cancelled it. Unfortunately went back and forth the three days we were there. The air conditioning unit blew out a terrible smell when the fan was on. We considered requesting a room change, but were too exhausted to pack everything up. It seems to be an old hotel that just hasn't been maintained to top quality. It was also a little annoying to have the small waterpark area and the pool so separate from each other. For the price, plus the extra 25US/night for parking, I would say not worth it.

The manager here was so rude to us and had no accountability for their mistakes. The hotel itself was nice and the water park was so much fun, but the management would be the reason we would not visit this hotel again.
