Overnight Family Stay with Children
Service was amazing. We were accommodated due to a light fixture not being in place. The restaurant was Chef’s Kiss. Loved the fish and chips for dinner and the breakfast buffet the following morning. Our waitress April displayed excellent service. The front door staffed noticed us on the elevator leaving out and provided us with a cart for our bags and offered to help us to our vehicle. The only downside was the pool area. The heated pool was not heated. The pool area was very different compared to other areas of the hotel. I’m hoping that it will be included into the new update that has started. Overall we would return.
