Modern Comfort

I adored the room setup, especially the unique partition between the bedroom and bathroom, which allowed for privacy without sacrificing space. The double bed was extremely comfortable, and the cozy couch made it perfect for relaxing after a long day.

Fantastic Pool Area

The pool area is amazing! Even though I visited during a cooler season, I could envision spending a summer day relaxing poolside. The ambiance was inviting, and it’s a great spot to unwind.

I had a great experience during my stay, and I'm eager to return in December 2025 with my boys. The hotel staff was incredibly accommodating, making sure we were comfortable. The amenities were impressive and well-maintained. In contrast, my experience at another hotel was disappointing, with poor customer service and unclean rooms. So, I would recommend this hotel for a memorable family stay but caution against certain other properties that don't meet expectations.

I had an unfortunate experience at this hotel. While the location is convenient, the booking mix-up upon arrival and dirty sheets left much to be desired. The room felt incredibly outdated, and the food ordering system was unnecessarily complicated. On the bright side, the staff was somewhat helpful during check-in, but overall, I would suggest looking for other options nearby.
