It was a nice, clean hotel for the area. It was a convenient walk to the museum, park and restaurants. The staff was very nice and knowledgeable. The rooms are a little outdated and the bed wasn't the most comfortable, but the rooms was a good size and worked well for our family. I would stay there again.

Basic rooms. A bigger TV would be nice. There was not an outlet where the coffee maker was located so you either run the cord across the sink or move to the main room.

Very friendly! The outdoor pool was nice. The only reason this is getting 4 stars is due to the lack of an elevator with a husband who is recovering from back surgery (and my 9 year old was very disappointed that our room didn’t have a towel dinosaur waiting for us in our room. Breakfast was amazing and complimentary!

Fun and clean

The room and grounds were very clean and well taken care of. All of the staff were very nice and you could tell they were happy to be there. There were shutters for the window covers which were really nice because you could see that they were clean.

Great, clean hotel for family with young kids

We were pleasantly surprised by our stay here. The room and bathroom were very clean and the complimentary breakfast was nicer than most continental hotel breakfasts! We would definitely stay here again.
