This is one of the best places we stayed. Location was superb. There are food shops within 2 minutes. The parking was great, it had elevators and trolleys to carry things upstairs easily. The breakfast was awesome. Kids loved the pool. The staff was courteous and helpful. Price wise ot was super affordable.i would say its mo less than a 4 star hotel like experience.

The room was clean and beds comfortable. I liked the bed , overall the room was great and I would stay again ! The bed was comfortable - air con worked great , the room was clean and main areas well kept. There was an odd “white panel” on the wall near toilet under the sink in the bathroom wall (likely after Reno’s) in room 221 that I have zero clue why it was there. The shower had good pressure and the hotel provided dove liquid soap. I’m allergic to most fragrances including dove so byo if needed.
