Fantastic family stopover

The hotel was beautiful, it felt very safe with their security measures and they went above and beyond for our little girls birthday by placing rose petals in the room. All the staff were very friendly and helpful

This hotel is very conveniently located to all the restaurants we enjoyed. The breakfast buffet offers fresh fruit, veggies, chef made omelettes, a wide assortment of pastries and smoothies. The workout room is sufficient with weights and a few treadmills. The huge pool is warm and very visible on the dining floor. We loved it. I highly recommend this hotel.

Lovely hotel booked when the rates were lower, usually rates are quite high. The pool is not actually heated and my card was charged fully instead of a holding amount so be careful with that.

Nice hotel, lousy management

Great location - nice and central but sadly avoid any rooms near the event space. I'm the middle of a meeting and a 6 night stay and whooooommmp, Dufft,Dufft a huge PA rig starts up with no notice in advance. Absolutely deafening in the room (110) Management moved me but not willing and no prompt response.

The Staff and management responded to requests promptly. The cleaning was great but inconsistent. I ended up losing my apple air Ponds on check out. Following up we were told to file a police report. That really sounded weird and unfortunate. We hope to stay again despite this mishap as our overall stay was very pleasant.
