While the staff was generally accommodating and the kitchenettes in the rooms were a nice touch, the overall cleanliness left a lot to be desired, which was disappointing. The breakfast options were limited and mostly not fresh. On the plus side, the hotel is a budget-friendly option and offers plenty of facilities that cater to families, including a pool that kids seem to love.
