The beds are a little high for small children without not having a carpeted floor, it’s a very hard floor and if a small child falls off the bed they could get hurt.

Our family had a great time in the little mermaid room! Highly recommend this value resort.
Verified

2/10 Poor

During our stay, we had a very unpleasant and concerning experience. We found a towel stained with blood, which is extremely unhygienic and poses a serious health risk. The stain appeared to have been there for a long time, showing a lack of proper cleaning and quality control. We took photos as evidence. This situation represents a biological hazard for guests, especially children. We will be sending the images to the hotel chain so appropriate action can be taken to prevent future risks. Due to this experience, we would not recommend this hotel until these issues are properly addressed.
