“Wonderful stay with a good balance of fun activities and relaxation. Loved the convenience of having everything we wanted within walking
distance. We especially enjoyed the water park and FunZone. We will definitely be back! We would like at least one of the table service restaurants (either the Grille or Hearth and Candle) to stay open Monday. We didn’t realize both were closed Monday and were disappointed to not be able to find a healthy dinner option. Tuesday, we were hoping to go to the Grille, but we were pleasantly surprised to be welcomed at Hearth and Candle in very casual dress and with 2 young children.”Carmen from Saratoga Springs, NY
