having an employee party in the waterpark thats in the middle of all the guests' rooms is CRAZY

[@mm-yt8sf]

especially since it's closed to the guests....wouldn't the employees feel awkward and wonder if they're being watched enviously from behind the rooms' curtains?

[@erykasr1]

Having the employee party is totally cool but they should have been telling guests that it would happen that day well in advance

[@EmmaJ716]

They should have told them at check in the pool was closed.

[@viiviviviiv]

@@erykasr1 the employee party should've been at a different location... i don't even work at an event space like this and we always go to a restaurant or something because its impossible to really relax at work. this is weird behavior lol. it made for a funnier video but i feel bad for those employees honestly.

[@Bellam83]

it’s actually disgusting behavior. People PAID to be here and the employees are having a party??

They should just not allow anyone to book rooms that day. I'm all for rewarding employees especially when they have to watch others have all the fun but they should mislead guests by allowing them to book a room when the water park is closed

closing the pool that is in the middle of the hotel for an employee party is actually diabolical

[@Ryan.Hannah]

I don't wanna get all Karen, but closing the pool off from paying customers of a pool-based hotel in order to have a staff party is so ridiculously unacceptable. I can't believe they did that.

[@celinasellers2366]

for real!!! they should’ve at least made it so guest couldn’t book a room that specific day

[@allyb3510]

As someone who worked in a hotel, it is pretty ridiculous. Most of the staff don't see the point in these events but it's so management doesn't have to give as much for raises.

[@noahvintageweedkiller3154]

At least leave it for the evening...clock out and hang out in the pool WITH guests or SOMETHING

[@BMarie774]

Had that happen two years ago. My sister and niece and nephew came from Maryland to Florida. We met them halfway between SWFL where we live and Orlando at a hotel with a great HEATED pool. Not only did the pool not have a pool and this was January so the pool was unbearably cold, but most the time it was closed.

[@raaaaaaarr]

Yeah im pissed.thats like paying for a steak buffet and then u go to get ur steak and the staff ate it all but you still paid the 50 dollar fee

In Iowa. It felt like we entered an alternate reality when we walked into this hotel.
