large pool

crowded parking

misleading staff

The large indoor pool and hot tub were great.

During my recent stay, I struggled with parking due to a concert happening nearby. The hotel’s parking lot was nearly full, and I had to wait for others to leave just to find a spot. It felt a bit misleading when I asked staff about it as they didn't explain the situation properly, leaving me frustrated.

comfy room

indoor pool

slippery floor

The room was super comfy, and I really enjoyed relaxing in the large indoor pool and hot tub after a long day. They really should consider putting down more rugs outside the pool area, as it got a bit slippery with all the water. Overall, I had a fantastic experience, and I’d recommend going to breakfast early to snag a good spot! 😊

busy breakfast

limited kitchen staff

I stayed in a Standard King Room for 1 night, and it was great! Everything felt brand new, clean, and the laminate flooring was a nice touch. Plus, the breakfast spread was really impressive—great variety and options. The large indoor pool and hot tub were also a fun bonus. Just a heads up, it got busy during breakfast, but that shows they’re popular!

overall good stay but minor breakfast rush

The Standard Double Room was exceptionally clean with modern furnishings. Staff demonstrated excellent service and were attentive to every need. The complimentary breakfast offered a wide selection of fresh options which I appreciated during my stay.

During peak breakfast hours, it got a bit crowded.
