This hotel is a really nice hotel. They enforce rules which makes it a much safer and quieter environment than a lot of water parks that I have been to. There's a code of conduct you sign upon renting your room where you acknowledge that your kids will not be screaming and running down the hallways at all hours of the night without repercussions. The staff is friendly. The lifeguards were very attentive in the swimming area. The water park water was actually pretty warm which surprised me. I had a blast with my kids. It's not a huge water park But it has the main essentials that you want to see at a water park; 2 tube slides, body slide, hot tub, lazy river, and kids play area with a few water slides meant for younger ages and the big bucket that dumps every 15 minutes or so. There's an adequate amount of seating by the pool area but I would recommend getting a table early in the morning. The cheapest cabanas are $100 but can be worth it if you have little kids that require more attention or you just want an area to be able to lounge in while at the water park. The great thing about the water park and being a guest there is that your wristband is good for the entire next day. So even if you check out at 11:00, you can still utilize the water park. They offer complimentary late checkout until noon and then $20 an hour after that. I plan on returning as I have already been there four or five times and had a great experiences each time.

Excellent experience! Checked in around 2pm and went swimming. Came back at 4:15pm for my room, because I hadn’t heard anything. Was given meal vouchers for my wait and eventually received our room around 4:45pm. The meal vouchers paid for the breakfast buffet, which to me was quite considerate. ALL staff were professionals. Rooms were clean, warm, and had exhaust in the bathrooms. The inner walls of the guest rooms have little insulation, since you can hear hallway conversations. People did practice quite time, so no issue. I will come back again.

This hotel was great! The room was very nice and clean, the bed was comfortable, and the bathroom had everything you could ever need. The TV worked great and had a ton of channels. The room also had a coffee machine and mini fridge. Front desk staff was very nice and friendly and answered all the questions we had. Walking down the halls, there are all sorts of conference rooms and larger office looking rooms, so this place would be great for weddings or events. We didn't have the chance to go to the water park, pool, or arcade, but we definitely will during our next stay!

Great overnight stay for my son’s 9th birthday! Awesome waterpark! My son has special needs and has a special interest with vacuum cleaners. This sweet young lady who was working in the arcade got the vacuum out of the closet and showed it to him. She was very kind and patient with him and even vacuumed the floor for him. She made his day!

The place is pretty cool overall. The staff is very nice and helpful, especially Dave at the front desk. You can tell it’s an older building but still looks beautiful all around. My only gripe is the price we paid for one room she the water park passes. Totaled over $400 for one night. A 19 hour stay for $400. Plus we spent an extra $110 on drinks and food. Which the food was very good, especially the breakfast buffet snd their pizza. I’d definitely come back but for maybe half the price?

I’ve worked multiple weddings at The Ingleside Hotel, and it’s incredible! As the owner of Beauty Unveiled by Tia, a premier on-location hair and makeup company, I love this picturesque venue with its elegant ballrooms, romantic gazebo, and sophisticated charm that makes every bridal look shine. Highly recommend!

I booked a bridal shower for my daughter at the Ingleside hotel and was so pleased! The event room was perfect and beautiful, the food was very good, and the service was outstanding! A shout out to Krystal and Denise for their attention to detail, eagerness to accommodate our requests and warm and pleasant demeanor. I highly recommend the ingleside hotel for any special event!

I really enjoyed this hotel and water park. Clean well decorated rooms and pool, and amazing staff. However, the bed pillows were the worst I have ever tried to sleep on. It seemed like they were filled with small stuff animals. Also, the walls are very thin. You can easily hear a normal level conversation in the hallway/adjoining rooms.
