I had a pleasant experience at this hotel overall. The rooms were clean and provided a cozy atmosphere, but I found them a bit outdated. The staff was accommodating and met our needs promptly. The location was convenient with nearby attractions, although parking was a hassle at times. The breakfast buffet offered a decent variety, but it could have been more flavorful. The pool area was delightful but tended to get crowded.

I had a lovely stay at this hotel. The rooms were cozy and well-maintained, making it a comfortable retreat after a long day. The amenities offered were nice, particularly the inviting pool area. However, the dining experience left a bit to be desired with limited breakfast options. Overall, it felt like good value for the price, but I wish the Wi-Fi was complimentary instead of an added cost.

I had a lovely stay at this hotel, with clean and spacious rooms that offered a great view. The staff was really accommodating, making sure I felt welcome. However, the breakfast could use a bit more variety and the Wi-Fi seemed a little spotty at times. The pool area was a highlight for me; it was clean and inviting. Overall, it felt worth the price, but some improvements would definitely enhance the experience.

I had a pretty enjoyable stay at the hotel. The rooms were both clean and comfortable, which made for a restful experience. The staff was really accommodating and helpful, but the dining options could use some improvement, especially during breakfast. On the plus side, the amenities like the pool were great for relaxation, although I found the Wi-Fi situation a bit frustrating since it wasn't included in the price.
