My stay at this hotel was quite enjoyable, with clean and comfortable rooms that made me feel right at home. The staff went out of their way to be pleasant and helpful. However, I found the dining experience to be a bit lacking, especially at breakfast where the options were limited. The facilities were well-kept, and I appreciated the reasonable pricing, though I wish Wi-Fi had been included in the fee.

On a positive note, the pool area was fantastic and well-kept, providing a lovely spot to relax after a long day of exploring.
