Really cool but not for young family

The hotel is very well located, very beautiful, cool, the staff all smiling and very nice But this is not for family with young children. This is really an hotel for couple and business. There is nothing to do for family there if its raining or in the evening before bedtime. The family room is the same size as the other but when they are opening the sofa bed there is no more place in the room to move.
