I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The staff were absolutely delightful and made me feel welcomed throughout my stay. However, the family room definitely needs some attention as it felt quite outdated and the bathroom was not up to standard. The food was hit or miss, with the dinner options providing some decent meals but also some that could use improvement. Overall, there are some great aspects here, but some key areas need work.
