Reviews and Ratings
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were well-stocked before my arrival, which was convenient. The early evening noise near the pool was a bit distracting, but the included hot breakfast made up for it. The setup for breakfast was always ready to go, ensuring a good start to my day.
My stay at the hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. The rooms seemed like they had undergone some kind of renovation at some point which was nice, but they were in desperate need of a dehumidifier. The location was convenient, right by the restaurant/bar, but I had to walk across the skywalk to go to breakfast. The service was pleasant, especially after a long day with my car breaking down on the highway, but the dining experience was not as expected. Despite these ups and downs, the friendly staff and various amenities were a plus.
I was pleasantly surprised by my stay at the hotel. The rooms were extremely comfortable with a well-stocked kitchenette, making it convenient for guests. The friendly service really stood out, especially after a tiring day. The location was excellent, allowing for easy access to various amenities, and the dining experience, while a bit of a walk, offered delicious hot breakfast options. The facilities were well-maintained, adding to the overall positive experience.
