We stayed at this Holiday in a couple of times, and it is great! The rooms are always roomy, clean and comfortable, and the pool area is great. We had 2 pretty small kids when we stayed there, and they absolutely loved the water play area with the animals, slides, etc. We went down and stayed just for the water fun during the cold Minnesota winters. One night we walked over to the Cabela's close by and admired all of the animals just to take a little break from swimming and then we headed back for more! Family fun for an affordable price!
We've been here twice. Rooms are fine. Waterpark is a little dated, but fine. Lobby is nice. Lifeguards are terrible!!! I understand that it is the parent's job to watch their children...but let's face it, not all parents do a great job at this. At our last visit (and trust me, it will be our last!) there was a mom who had 5 teenage boys in the small kiddy part of the waterpark who were wrestling each other. One of them held another one underneath the water for a very very long time. While this was happening, four lifeguards were sitting by the concession area chatting and folding towels. There were no lifeguards actually supervising any part of the waterpark. Then one of the teenagers threw another one down into the water and he landed on top of my toddler who was trying to get to the slide. Still, the lifeguards noticed nothing. I reported it to the manager and they still did nothing. We will not be going back.
I suppose this waterpark was state-of-the-art when it was built, but it's really tiny. The lazy river is about 40 feet long. The toddler area consists of one small slide; there isn't a climb/splash area that many of the newer waterparks have. My six-year-old did like the big waterslide; it was just right for him. One lifeguard was on duty in the park when we were there.
Our room was adequate but there was a lot of noise from the hallway.
Located right next to Cabelas and a few miles from the outlet mall at Medford; restaurants are close by.
