I had a pleasant stay at this hotel! The rooms were spacious and impeccably clean, and the amenities were just what I needed for a comfortable visit. While the breakfast options were decent, I did wish for a bit more variety. The pool looked inviting and was well-kept, although it got a little crowded in the afternoons. Overall, it felt like great value for money, especially considering the location and setup.
