I booked for my friend's bachelorette party and I am beyond thankful I found them. The original bar we went to wasn't what we expected. I was so stressed because I wanted the bride to be happy. Since Racquel and DaMante are so amazing and attentive, they checked on us and offered to take us to other spots in town. Since they had connections, we were able to go to all the best spots! At one bar, DaMante took over the entire place and became the DJ and hype man. It was like a movie. He made the place come alive and we would have had a boring night without them. Above and beyond would be an understatement. They were also so caring and patient looking after 20+ women having a good time! The vibes and service were immaculate and I will forever cherish this experience and how happy it made my friend. Everyone couldn't stop talking about how much fun they had all thanks to Racquel and DaMante. Incredible humans and business. Also, Racquel is a fantastic owner. Excellent and timely communication and so warm and kind. I could not recommend booking with them enough. All I expected was transportation, lights and some good music to our destination. Little did I know they were the entire party! Thank you so much Racquel and DaMante!!!

The location has a cool, eclectic vibe thanks to the owners' creative touch; they specialize in refurbishing materials into one-of-a-kind furniture and decor. What's really cool is that most everything is for sale, so you can literally eat, drink, and shop. The drinks are solid, and reasonably priced. While the food menu is limited, we have enjoyed everything we tried. Outside there is a piano on the patio and live music often fills the air. Overall it is a great hangout that will surround you with creativity.

Let me start out by saying had I read these reviews prior to booking our Christmas Party I would…read morehave looked elsewhere. In April I contacted The Winerie about a Christmas Party on Dec. 5th 2025, at that time I spoke with the Manager who was let go before our party. We received all the menues and contracts. We signed the contract and made the deposit. In October we never heard from anyone to finalize the menu so I reached out to the said Manager and I was told she no longer works there and gave me the "new" managers number. I called and sent numerous texts with no response. We finally called Winerie and spoke with a bartender who stated she would have someone call me back. I did get a text that said when is the best time to call you, I told her anytime before 2:30. A few days later she called back we touched base on what we had planned, she asked if we signed a contract and made a deposit as she has no record of us booking. From that point on I no longer had phone conversations with anyone everything had to be done via text. When I asked if someone could call she stated no she is very busy as she wears many hats. Fast forward to the time of our party!! UGH they had 5 tables reserved with a white tablecloth on them thats it no salt/pepper no water nothing. Okay fine we can overlook that. The food was finally served and they put out a tossed salad that was big enough for 1 person, when we went to ask for more they stated sorry we have no more lettuce in the whole place. We were supposed to get rolls and butter nope they didn't have those either. When we went to the bar for beer they ran out of that as well we had to change what we drank. The roasted carrots where hard the potatoes where spungy. The chicken was DRY as the saraha desert. The lasagna was very good. We ran out of food!!! We had to go to the bar and ask if they had any more they said oh yes we will get someone to bring more. They brought our more lasagna and some cabbage that they called a salad but never brought out any chicken. We had to ask for salt and pepper, and more plates. No one cleaned off the tables after dinner we had to bus our own tables and put them on an empty table. One of our guests bit into a bite of chicken and pulled out a 3" piece of dark hair that had food attached to it. The desert constisted of cheesecakes from Sams Club. No one came to check on us at all during the evening, we had to go ask where we were set up, and had to ask when food was going to be served. When we went up to pay they did take money off the bill because we complained but then turned around and charged us a 20% gratuity. Why, why didn't we get to say what we wanted to pay because we had no service other than the bartenders getting the drinks. I do not recommend this facility RUN!!!

I have to give a special shoutout to Kayla who was awesome checking us in! The lobby was decorated for Halloween and looked super festive and fun, so that was a nice welcome after a bit of a long travel day. The amenities are pretty good, with an indoor pool, fitness center, free breakfast, and a little snack area to buy items. Our room had a mini fridge, which I always appreciate to keep my water cold. The shower didn't drain well, but the bed was comfy. The room was a bit loud, but I sleep with earplugs so that doesn't really bother me. Our room had a door to the next room, which I always think is kind of weird if you're not with a group that you are traveling with, but we didn't have any issues. We could definitely hear people in the adjoining room talking, though. The location is nice and super easy to get downtown, plus you have a huge entertainment complex right next door with bowling, a bar, sports book, laser tag, etc. There was plenty of parking in the lot when we were there.

We spent 2 nights on a weekend at the resort. We booked the…read morebunk room which had 2 bunks and a king sized bed at the room/waterpark only rate in late February 2026. The good: Waterpark and room were clean. The staff were all super friendly and helpful. Kids really enjoyed themselves (10 and 14). There are lots of restaurant options within 3-5 miles to fit any budget. The majority of lifeguards took their jobs seriously and enforced rules. It was less expensive than other indoor waterparks. Room fridge was great for storing snacks and drinks. Nearly everywhere in the hotel is crazy loud, but, the craft room was a great place to take a sensory break and slow down for a bit. The area by the aquarium on the third floor was also quieter often. There was a seating area for reading and tables available for boardgames with a view of the bay. The bad: We waited in line at 4:15 pm for a half an hour to just check in. They had a line of people filling the entire lobby with 4 staff checking people in. It was not streamlined at all. The changing room did not have a curtain or door on it. Nor did the bunk room. The only place to change privately was the small room off the bathroom with toilet and shower. Walls are paper thin. You will hear everything going on in the hall and the rooms around yours. We also happened to be right off the elevator bank which added a whole new level of noise. Elevators are slow and tiny. With luggage, you can fit 3-4 people tops. We chose the stairs almost every time despite our room being located on the 3rd floor right next to the elevators. That said, the stairwells are super loud as it's all metal and cement/concrete. Large attractions do close. The wave pool was closed half the day Saturday which was our kids favorite thing. You need a special card for any arcade, bowling, or golfing you do and that's an extra $3 charge plus what you load onto it. They have cute character "room doors" throughout the hallways. These are often right next to a room door and kids will push the buttons to make them talk all day/night. So many of the areas were unnecessarily loud. You couldn't hear anyone speak in the arcade or waterpark. Stairwells were like banging on metal drums while they echoed between 4 floors. The ugly: Their mini golf (albeit it glow course) is highway robbery. $10 per person (despite being told it was $6 by staff) and only 8 holes. The 9th hole was just putting your ball up a ramp into their skee-ball cup. If you mad it a fun sound went off, if you didn't, it collected it and played a failed sound. Our "bay view" window was COVERED in bird poop and cobwebs on the exterior side. The entire side of the building was filthy to look at. I would not suggest paying extra for the view. This might have been a one off experience in the activity pool but the one time we tried it, I had teenagers tackling me from behind as they fought over basketballs. I was pushed over multiple times by them when they crashed into me (and others in the pool) and nothing was done about it by parents or lifeguards. My kiddo and I eventually left because the ball he and another younger kid were playing with kept getting takin by the teens. Overall, it was a cheaper room option than other places but I'm not sure we'll be going back again. The extra fees for everything else adds up quick and sleep was nearly impossible with the noise level around our room.

I do not think I will ever come back here again! It had been a few years since we visited and…read morethings have definitely changed for the worse. Number one reason why I cannot come back is because of lack of hand and body soap! This year we got a Cedar Point season pass and I wanted to use the hotel discount. I think I should have looked elsewhere from the start, my mistake, but I really wanted to stay on property and the kids used to love the place so much! I was suppose to get the "special" 20% off discount but they only gave me 10% and the prices for each package where so outrageous even though the ten percent off should have resulted in the same price. Like the 10% off plus two free park tickets was way more than the just 10% off. The woman on the phone was rude and said they were different packages, but that makes no sense! If I get 10% off and two free tickets why is it more than just 10%? Whatever, I booked it and it was still almost $500 for the night! When I got there the front desk two girls were certainly very rude and unfriendly, which is odd (the rest of the staff was extremely welcoming and kind by the way). I arrived pretty early and the room was already available which is great, but they emailed me several times to pay them $75 more to get early access to my room! Why the money grab? When we got near the room the entire all smelled like must and cat urine and the actual room also smelled like must and urine. The beds were tiny and although it looked like they updated it, it was all old and worn out. The clock radio alarm was dirty and moldy. We needed to use the bathroom but noticed there was no hand soap. Then we looked in the shower and the shower gel was gone and there was no soap. I left the room and asked the cleaning staff and they told me they also had no soap, that it was on order and not going to arrive until the following week. So I asked, but how am I going to wash my hands? They did not know. I went to the front desk and asked for hand soap and they were really rude and gave me one tiny piece and balked when I asked for a second one. What kind of place charges $500 for a small room but has no soap? Our safe was also not working and we asked them to fix it and that we would be back late. They said they would send someone when we were gone. We went to Cedar Point for the day and came back at night and the safe was not fixed. Then we opened up the couch bed. There was no bedding, no sheets, no blankets. We went to the front desk crew, it was three gentlemen, and they were extremely kind. They gave us towels, shower gel, the bedding, and apologized. The next day my husband found bugs on the pull out and that is gross! We did use the waterpark the next day which was fun. I do like their tiny park, it was a good chance to relax. The husband and kids did the slides and I hung out in the hot tub and wave pool, but the attendant who lets you into the pool is a bit prickley. My child is also upset about new theming. I am not sure what happened to the Peanuts and some of the animatronics. They still have fun entertainment for kids and the people working there were friendly although I think I heard them talking about a guest once the guest left on their way to a break and it was not kind. Overall, I have spent way less in Hawaii, Vegas, and expensive Disney hotels than this place? I will go down the street to Great Wolf next time. I checked, and their prices are way less and offer an outdoor pool. Another review said worst hotel they had ever stayed at, and they might be right especially since I spent so much money to be here. It is very unsanitary to have no soap to the point that there should be an inspection of the property. Does that mean people who work here can't wash their hands? Food is prepared here. Just horrible!
