Fit
| Situation | Verdict |
|---|---|
| Family of four, two nights or more | Best value of the room types |
| Family of four, one night | A Two Queen may be enough |
| Adults on a work trip who need to eat in | Works, though the Luxury King Suite has a meeting area |
| Children's birthday with a pool party | Pair it with the hotel's kids pool party package |
Kids pool parties
The hotel runs kids pool parties on Saturdays and Sundays: one hour in the waterpark, then a kids meal and birthday cake in the Mohave Grill. The published price on 31 October 2026 was $29.95 per person, with a maximum group of 25. Bookings go through the Mohave Grill on (403) 723-4043. This is separate from a room booking.
