Great stay however couple points would have made it better. The main one worth mentioning is we travelled with young kids and it was a safety concern that they could get out of the hotel room easily as there was no security lock up high like most hotel rooms. We mentioned this and maintenance had a look but in the end didn’t do anything about this. None of the rooms had this as we had other friends and family staying and there hotel doors were the same. That being said if we came back and wanted to stay in that location we would most likely stay there again :)
