    fun water park
    high chlorine levels

    The water park was a highlight for the

    kids, providing endless fun with various slides and a lazy river. The room was also clean and comfortable, but the chlorine levels were quite high, making it difficult for us to fully enjoy our time in the pool area.

    The water park was a highlight for my kids, who loved the slides and lazy river. The friendly staff made us feel welcome, especially when they allowed us extra check-out time without a fee.

    indoor/outdoor hot tub
    rude staff
    poor water park management

    The indoor/outdoor hot tub was enjoyable.

    Our check-in process was extremely frustrating and unprofessional. The front desk staff was rude, causing an uncomfortable experience that lasted over 20 minutes. The water park was poorly managed, with insufficient tubes available and unhelpful attendants who spent more time chatting than assisting guests.

    overlooked details
    typical coffee

    The water park was a highlight for my family, as my kids had an absolute blast enjoying the various slides and features. Our suite was spacious and spotlessly clean, making it a comfortable retreat after a fun day. Breakfast was delicious, with several healthy options that suited everyone in our group. The staff was friendly and accommodating throughout our stay, which added to the positive experience.

    family-friendly amenities
    clean room
    variety of breakfast
    high chlorine
    cramped area
    noise issues

    I had a wonderful time at Rapid River Lodge. The water park etched fantastic memories for my family, with plenty of space for everyone to play. Our room felt spacious, nicely decorated, and meticulously clean. I particularly enjoyed the cozy seating area, perfect for relaxing after a busy day. Breakfast options were plentiful, featuring fresh fruits and delicious pancakes. Not everything was perfect, though. The chlorine levels in the water park were pretty high, causing some discomfort. That made it difficult to stay in for long stretches. The breakfast area also felt a bit cramped during peak hours, which made it hard to find a place to sit. Overall, it was a fun family getaway with a few minor hiccups.

    noisy distractions

    Numerous distractions from other guests disrupted our peace, with noisy children running in the halls late into the night. The elevator looked worn and could really use a serious upgrade, while the breakfast area lacked enough seating, forcing us to wait or eat in our room. To cap it off, the pool area had noticeable odors from chemicals that detracted from the overall experience.
