Check-in on time but room wasn't even ready. Front desk offered is drinks on the house which was okay. Waited 15-20 minutes but every other guess that checked in got their rooms doesn't make sense. onstruction trucks blocking entry. Shower ceiling peeling, loud and lots of traffic noise. Sliding door isn't well insulated. Breakfast eggs wasn't cooked right, clumps of wet scrambled eggs. Lol whose cooking this? Pool definitely was not heated! Expect it to be cold. Overall okay. Will I stay there again? No.

Excellent stay, location and service

We stayed here because of the location, but would highly recommend this to other family and friends. The rooms were a great size for a family of five, the breakfast was really good and had lots of options. My girls especially love the shower pressure in the showers.
