Guest Ratings & Reviews
I had a lovely stay at this hotel, which offered a great blend of comfort and convenience. The rooms were clean and spacious, making my experience quite pleasant. The staff were genuinely welcoming and attentive. However, I wish the dining options were more diverse, especially for breakfast. The pool area was nice, but the availability of certain amenities was not ideal, and I found the Wi-Fi access frustrated with added fees.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed bag. The rooms were spacious and clean, providing a comfortable atmosphere. While the staff was attentive, I found the breakfast offerings to be quite limited, which was disappointing. The pool area was lovely and a nice way to relax. Overall, it was decent value for money, but I believe there’s room for improvement in the dining area.

I had a nice stay at this hotel overall. The rooms were quite spacious and clean, making it a comfortable retreat after a day out. The staff were friendly and attentive, which added a nice touch to the experience. Unfortunately, the Wi-Fi not being included felt like a letdown, and the dining options left something to be desired. Still, for the value, it was a reasonable choice.
