10/10 Excellent
"Can see why this hotel is rated so high. Very clean, staff was very attentive, breakfast was good, pool was fun, jacuzzi in room was super relaxing, all at a good price. All around was a great stay, only knocks i can give are the bed is on the older side and worn, pillows are flat, and the bathroom is a bit on the small side. Would love if this gets updated but does not change my rating, but it might for others."

"Stayed here for one night and had a very good experience. The room was comfortable, and I got a great night’s sleep. I also liked that coffee was available all day, which was a nice bonus. The free breakfast was perfect for grabbing something quick before heading out in the morning. Overall, a convenient and comfortable stay. I would stay here again."
