10/10 Excellent

"The rooms were nice, clean big enough for our family of 5. The bathroom felt bigger than most hotel rooms which was nice. The pool is tiny and we didn't use it but still nice that they have one. The breakfast had nice variety and satisfied everyone. We would recommend this hotel to others."
