I stayed at this hotel and really liked how clean and comfortable the rooms were. The staff were nice, making my experience more pleasant. However, the breakfast selections were not great, which was a downside. The pool area was well-maintained and a nice spot to relax, but I was disappointed that Wi-Fi wasn’t included in my stay and I had to pay for it separately.
