This was a wonderful hotel. Staff was very friendly and the premises was extremely clean. It has a nice big pool/hot tub and the breakfast was superior. The beds were super comfy and the pillows were like clouds. No funny smell in the room. Excellent place to stay!

Really enjoyed our stay. The hotel is clean and pretty quiet while being extremely family friendly. The only disappointed was the breakfast, although it was no worse than other hotel hot breakfasts, just didn't get the hype about it since it basically was a regular hot breakfast at a hotel - minus the fresh custom omelet bar
