"We enjoyed our stay here. Travelled with 3 kids. They had a blast. The breakfast was the same every day and just okay, front desk staff varied in friendliness. You can also request a room cleaning or changes but it doesn’t always happen. This is not a quiet hotel. You can hear walking/running through floors and walls. It didn’t bother us because of kids but for some, it may. Overall, we were pleased with our stay."
