Recommended for families
The hotel was clean and newly renovated. The kids had a great time swimming in the pool, although the buckets that dump water weren’t working. The breakfast was fantastic with lots of options. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The only thing I didn’t like was the bed. I found the mattress was uncomfortable. But we would definitely stay here again.
