I had a lovely stay at this hotel, which is truly a family-friendly place. The rooms were spacious and clean, providing a comfortable environment for relaxation. The staff was exceptionally helpful, making the experience even better. However, the dining options could use some improvement, especially the breakfast variety. Overall, I found the price to be fair for the quality of my stay, although I wish Wi-Fi was complimentary instead of an extra charge.
