Stayed for the pool and hot tub, and the free breakfast. All was fine, the breakfast was great. The door to our room wouldn't open normally, but the lady at the front desk knew right away what to do. It was pretty quiet. Kids loved swimming, and the beds were clean and comfy.

Was very pleased with my stay at this hotel. The breakfast in the morning is delicious as well and it starts early and doesn’t end too early like most places so I didn’t have to wake up at the crack of dawn just to get some breakfast. The staff were friendly and the pool was clean and fun.
