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.

Our room had a kitchenette that included a full-size refrigerator, stove, and microwave, making it convenient for simple meals. However, cleanliness was an issue with food found on the bedspread and hair on the bathroom floor.

Breakfast options were quite limited, and some items were spoiled, which was disappointing. It wasn't a hot breakfast but had some basic options like hard-boiled eggs and bread.

The pool area was well-maintained and enjoyable for family fun, plus they had BBQ facilities which added a nice touch for dining options.
