Reviews and Ratings
We had an overall enjoyable stay, with very clean rooms and a fantastic pool area perfect for families. The staff were accommodating and friendly, which added to the welcoming vibe. However, I was a bit concerned about the lack of mask compliance during our visit, which impacted my comfort level. The breakfast options were top-notch, especially the made-to-order omelets, but it felt less ideal with the current health climate.
My stay was mixed. I appreciated the cleanliness and modern feel of the hotel, but I was disappointed with the breakfast options that were not as good as I remembered. While I found the pool area enjoyable, the noise from other guests made it hard to relax at times. Overall, there were some highlights, but a few aspects didn't meet my expectations.
The hotel has some great amenities, including a nice pool area and a well-stocked breakfast that would be perfect for families. However, my experience with the staff was mixed, with one particularly rude employee that really impacted our stay. Overall, there were some bright spots but also significant issues that need addressing.
