They were very helpful in finding me an additional room and were very helpful to my family. Very kind staff, all of them, coffee was always available, breakfast was good. Thank you! A short swim was enjoyable with fun, a little longer would of been nice, but we understand the time difference, (10PM your time is only 8:00 PM our time).

It was a nice hotel. Don’t be afraid to say here.
This is a decent hotel. It had a few issues I think that they could focus on the building maintenance a little bit better. We can definitely see that there was water damage in the bathroom at some point and this is the third floor. But overall the hotel was clean. The temperature was nice in the room. The beds were comfortable. The breakfast was good. I would say this is a very well run hotel.

My only complaint is that we have 4 people in a room and they only gave us 3 towels and wash clothes, so every bight we had to ask for an extra one. Very friendly staff, hotel was clean, breakfast was good.

The front desk representative was incredibly helpful, friendly, and accommodating, setting the tone for a great stay. I booked online but was disappointed to find my double queen reservation didn't include a suite. However, the agent made a kind exception and upgraded us to a suite. Our room was clean, comfortable, and spacious, and we enjoyed the spa area and breakfast. I'll definitely return for our next staycation.
