Very clean

Everything was great. Location, cleanliness and parking. The only thing negative was the noise from the unit above us. This could have not been controlled by the manager but it did get a little trying a times.

One of the Best Stays We’ve Ever Had! This hotel truly had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay. The kitchen was fully equipped — toaster, kettle, dishes, utensils, bowls — absolutely everything! We brought a lot with us, but honestly, we didn’t need to — they had it all. We loved that there were games and activities available, which was perfect for rainy days. Another huge plus was the washer and dryer — traveling with a small child means laundry is inevitable, and this was incredibly helpful. The bed was very comfortable, and the space was generous and well laid out. We honestly enjoyed everything about our stay. The only small downside was that the pool wasn’t heated — if it were, this place would easily be a perfect 10/10 for us!
