The hotel was clean, beds were a little uncomfortable and pillows were flat! Pool area needs some work but it’s nice… it was very busy though so we couldn’t enjoy it… Easy access to get around to where we wanted to go! Great little ice cream place right behind the hotel too!

3.5 Review from us. Location was perfect, Check in was easy. Room was clean, spacious, the couch was a pullout if more sleeping room was needed and even had a kitchenette fully supplied. Hotel room was not located facing the pool, which we were happy as we wanted quietness. All staff were polite and friendly. We liked how there was supposed to be an adult and youth section for pool as well, there was birds in cages to make it feel more tropical. Only concerns were the following; - Boston pizza connected to the hotel was very loud. Appeared like an event team arrived, have a second option in case. - Adult section of pool was not monitored, many youth running around and playing with sauna and hot tub, regardless of the 18+ sign after a certain time. - The bathtub appeared cracked and rusted (picture if requested) - Water pressure seemed off (showered turned super hot and then mild cold repeatedly during shower / trouble flushing toilet)

Expected more for the cost

The hotel appeared better in pictures. Was surprised to find our room had what appeared to be a 30” tv tops. No internet - it was down. Could not use pool as it had been closed due to rowdy youth. Very few outlets in room - one out of service and clearly burnt out. Bathroom fan filthy as was the back of the bathroom door. Bedroom ceiling looked like a c-grade contractor job. Pool area was fine - though we were surprised that the youth lounging around was actually a staff member- perhaps not a lifeguard.

This was a great hotel, once we got the room that we booked and paid for, bed was too hard and no replenished towels or coffee or made bed after our first night! So we had to leave early Sat morning so we could get coffee
