Nice place

This place was great for a quick night’s rest. Beds were really comfortable and clean. Breakfast had a variety of things including fruit, but minimal hot options. Loved their yogurt dispenser! We went to a cafe for better coffee. We didn’t come for the water park, but if you are make sure to check the open hours before you book.
