Room was nice and clean. My wife and daughter liked the beds. There’s a small gym, a games room and a nice indoor heated pool. The food at the hotel restaurant was a disappointment as it had been cooked hours before and was obviously reheated. We found other places to go to for our meals. The hotel looks better in the photos than in real life. The staff are friendly and helpful.
