Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were a good size, but the decor felt outdated and the constant running for temperature control was a bit disturbing. The service was incredible, with efficient check-in, but I was unimpressed with the feedback process. The location was inviting, staying open until 11pm, but there was a stingy supply of toiletries in the bathroom. The dining experience was pretty ordinary, with limited options and a repetitive menu. Despite these issues, the overall value for money was decent considering the amenities offered.
I had a wonderful experience staying at this hotel. The rooms were clean and pretty, especially with a nice view. The pool was great, and I enjoyed the breakfast they offered. On the downside, parking near my room was easy, but the breakfast could use an upgrade.
