How this is written: we run the full set of recent Google reviews through AI to pull out what guests consistently say — including the complaints, which is why there's a downsides list rather than only the good bits. It's rewritten as new reviews come in, so it describes the hotel as it is now, not as it was whenever someone last got round to writing a paragraph about it. Read the reviews yourself on Google Maps.

Just visit to see the lights, but those freshly cut trees sure do smell good! I love that they decorate the carousel dome with lights and also the trees surrounding it.

Such a cool random spot to visit! It is located within a small park across from an apartment complex. It used to have a carousel which moved when the original park was relocated. I loved the maze in the middle of it, very cool addition!

Well, when I went there with my uncle, he told me alot of the history about the carousel and the theater which is not to far from it. I even got my phone out and played the organ version of the maple leaf rag and walked in circles to imitate how it was back then. Then we went past the new Elitch Gardens, And surprising enough the new carousel has alot of the same features as the old one, like a dome around the entire thing.
