Room was spacious and updated. Breakfast was solid buffet, slightly above the average 3 star chain hotel breakfast. Basketball court and squash court available for free use with rentals included which was a big plus. Room service offered for breakfast and dinner but menu is fairly limited. Staff was very friendly. Pool looked nice but no AC so it was unusable which I read in other reviews so may not be fixed for future stays. Grounds were nice with a nice walking trail, volleyball net and plenty of green space. Great value for price.

Good location but needs some attention

Staff was great. Location was great. But my sheets were not clean. It smelled of fish. Front desk was able to provide a new set of sheets but it was late so I had to change them. The mattress was not comfortable. It felt worn and old.
