Check-in and check-out were super easy, and we were greeted by friendly staff right away. We stayed here back in 2018, and I’m happy to say the experience is still just as excellent as we remembered. The breakfast at the hotel restaurant is a must—so convenient, tasty, and very reasonably priced. The wait staff were wonderful and really attentive, which made the meal even better. The room and bathroom appeared very clean and had adequate pillows and towels for family of 4. We were also pleasantly surprised to find a basketball court on-site—such a fun bonus, especially for my son. There were plenty of other entertainment for all ages! Overall, this hotel has everything you need for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. We’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend it to anyone, especially families traveling with children!
