The waterpark anchors the family appeal at this downtown Omaha property — guests describe lots of fun from the water, helpful, friendly staff and seasonal extras like an Easter egg hunt that delighted the kids. Reviewers note it's a little pricey but rate it a great family location all the same. It's a city-center hotel that delivers resort-style family fun without leaving downtown, and the combination of the waterpark and the engaged staff is what keeps parents recommending it for a family weekend.

Kept them busy for most of the day  and the food was amazing I would defently recommend this hotel  if you want to go a water park in the middle of the winter
