Disappointed
We extended our trip home from down south one night to stay at Fort Rapids. I have two boys, age 4 and 7, who love indoor waterparks. They actually had a great time at Fort Rapids (which is the only reason I rated it a 2 instead of a 1). The hotel was very run down. You can tell it is older, and it has not been kept up very well. We were very disappointed with the watermark. It was understaffed. At one point, there was only one lifeguard working at the top of the slides. There are 4 slides to ride up there!! This only added to the amount of time it took to get through the lines. It was very hard to get your hands on a tube, unless you wanted to be one of the MANY inconsiderate guests sitting in the chairs, holding onto their tubes to use later. It is clearly written in the hotel rules that you are not supposed to do this, and there just wasn't any staff present to enforce this rule. I actually approached people (with my son by my side!) and asked to use the tubes and was told no!! The lazy river is a nightmare to get in and out of. It is poorly designed. Needless to say, even though my kids had a fun time, we will not chose to visit again. Great Wolf Lodge is a MUCH better choice.
