7.6/10 Good! (1,000 reviews)

The staff was so kind and helpful. The room was comfortable and spacious. We had a great amount of hygiene amenities provided as well as extra towels when needed. The beds were very comfortable and the mini fridge was spacious with a small freezer in it. The kids loved the indoor pool, the only negative is that the pool is supposed to be heated, but it was not heated. All in all it was a great stay.
