"I liked that this hotel had an option to have a sofa sleeper. Being a family of 5 it can be hard to find a room to fit us all. The only thing is, when we opened the sofa sleeper there were chips under the cushions. The breakfast was a nice amenity. We had a lot of people eating when we went down for breakfast. They seemed to be keeping up with the demand on the food. Wish they offered hot chocolate(kids) and French Vanilla creamer for the coffee."

Top Holiday World and Splashin' Safari Hotel Reviews

Sun Outdoors Lake Rudolph

10/10 Excellent

"only a minor issue, the first step leading up to the porch was a little too high, just needs an additional step at the bottom"

Potter Cottage - Beautiful Serene Setting

10/10 Excellent

"The Potter Cottage was amazing! Clean and had all the amenities and family could possibly need and more. The host was amazing with communication. The place was spotless, well-furnished, and cozy. We will definitely be staying again if we plan another trip to Holiday World!"
