We picked this hotel because we had reservations at Tanganyika Wildlife Park and used their discount code when booking. For two adults and two elementary-aged kids, our “two-queen studio with wet bar” had plenty of space. There was a couch and a large desk by the TV; the bathroom had a door to shut between the toilet/shower and the sink area. I wouldn't pay extra for the wet bar studios again, unless the room itself was larger in the wet bar studios compare to ones without a wet bar. In 323, the wet bar was a counter immediately inside the door with a mini fridge on top leaving just enough counter space to hold a carry-on suitcase sideways before the sink. There was a lower shelf with a microwave and empty cupboard. There was no cups, coffee maker, soap, towels, or other bar supplies. The hotel looked nice, had a spacious breakfast area with generous breakfast hours, and is connected to Blast Off Bay and a fitness facility with an Olympic-sized pool. Hotel guests could use the pool without a cost but there was a sign of restrictions noted at the main door. We saw the pool after 5pm on weekday nights and there were a few hotel guests using that area and seemingly whatever parts they wanted (if swim team was running, I am sure they would enforce the restrictions). The was a nice gym equipment area in the fitness facility that was also said to be free for hotel guests. The location was very convenient for Tanganyika and would probably also be good for families attending events at the nearby sports facilities. However, there isn't much close to the hotel of sit down restaurants or other recreation. Sandbox isn't; we drove when we wanted to eat there. Most other places we visited were at least a 20-minute drive. Perhaps they were understaffed when we came, but we had to ask for soap for the sinks (they only had refillable body wash attached to the shower wall), lotion (refillable bottle was empty - they never did refill it), and additional towels later in our stay. Our room was never cleaned, even on the every-other-day schedule. Blast Off Bay admission is not included, which we knew but does seem to be a draw for the hotel. We spent just over $50 for two kids' twilight passes and two adult observation passes. It has two larger slides, a splash area, a very small lazy river, and an indoor boogie board attraction. There is a bar with dry seats and in water seats. We stayed about two hours, which was plenty. It closed at 7 pm each night we were there. We could hear our neighbors children and TV so I dont think the sound proofing is great. The pillows all seemed to hold a little air. I wanted to be close to Tanganyika, but if we planned a visit there again, I think I would stay in Wichita instead so that we could be closer to other attractions.
