I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The rooms were not only clean but also spacious and very comfortable, perfect for relaxing after a long day. The staff was super accommodating and friendly, making me feel right at home. However, I felt the dining experience could use some improvement, especially with breakfast options being somewhat limited. The amenities, especially the pool area, were great for unwinding, but it's unfortunate that Wi-Fi wasn't included in the price.

My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were clean and comfortable, which definitely made for a good night's sleep. The location was fantastic, putting me close to several attractions. However, I found the dining options a bit lacking, especially at breakfast. While the facilities were nice, I think there’s a bit of room for improvement in some areas.
