The hotel was perfect for our short stay. The room was extremely clean and nicely updated. The pool was as beautiful as pictured, perfectly maintained and wonderful for our children 4 and 9. We met several friendly guests most were families with similar age children which was comforting and fun. It was a great time and we will be booing with the Crystal Palace in the future!
