Katherine, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great and so massively expensive
It was so fun. The beds are like a bad joke. They are incredibly bad! But otherwise the place is perfect for a get away with little kids. Our room has a kids room in IT and or daughters were in heaven. We were particularly helped by: Asher H., Avery, Brendan and Omar. Such lovely staff. The biggest demerit is they started charging for parking when there’s no other way to get there. It’s such a clear cash grab when it’s already a kiddie casino.
