I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The customer service was absolutely top-notch, and I really appreciated the variety of family-friendly activities available. The spacious rooms made our stay comfortable, especially traveling with little ones. The only downside was that the kids' playground was closed during our visit, which was disappointing at first, but they quickly set up a giant inflatable obstacle course that my kids absolutely loved. Overall, this hotel is a fantastic choice for families looking for a fun and engaging vacation.
