The stay was good.
The rooms are clean and equipped with everything you need.
Breakfast is very delicious, and the hotel’s location is great.
However, the pool staff was repeatedly unfriendly, and we were never asked if we wanted anything else.

This was my second time here and i enjoyed it as i did the last time. I find the staff very friendly and helpful and the overall amenities for the price point very good. I especially enjoy the gym which is probably one of the best hotel gyms i've experienced. I also apprecaite the hotel decoration for the holidays. The only critique i would give is that while fully functinonal and comfortable, the rooms could use a revitalized or updated style to keep in league with other hotels on the same price point. Overall i was very pleased with my stay and look forward to my next visit there.
