It is near to all things we wanted to do, for the most part. We are used to trains and/or buses, so we can do things a little too far for walking. We had our two grandsons with us this trip. They enjoyed the room being larger and the two televisions. The pool was a huge hit also!!

The view from the rooftop lounge was nice and made for pretty pictures. The staff were all very helpful. The most noteworthy aspect of the stay was the convenience and ease of travel to and from the hotel. It was quite easy to navigate from one event to the next with this centrally located hotel.
