I had a wonderful stay at the hotel with superb staff service that really made a difference in my experience. The breakfast options were delicious and offered a great variety, making it a highlight of my mornings. The rooms were spacious and clean, although there were a few hiccups with some views. Overall, it was a family-friendly environment where both kids and pets were well catered for, but there is room for improvement, especially with the dining options in the evenings.
