The hotel seemed very nice, though had an unpleasant surprise on the last evening when we found some little bugs on the bed, they turned out to be bed bugs and i was fully feasted on for the 2 evenings. A week later and im still itchy, we did report and supplied a dead bug when we checked out. Hopefully they can resolve as its a nice modern hotel with loads of parking.

Room was fine, bed was very uncomfortable and the elastic on the mattress protector was broken meaning the under sheet was wrinkled and came away from the mattress. Overhead light constantly flickered. Swimming pool was lovely, reception helpful and welcoming. Breakfast plentiful.

Outstanding breakfast service. Food variety and quality is amazing. Unbelievable water pressure in the shower room is another thing that was surprising to me, hold that showerhead firm or jet propulsion

The hotel overall is nice, clean and the staff was super friendly. However, what surprised me was that the pool was for an additional fee. I do not know if Orbitz forgot to mention about it or the hotel. Also, no mini fridge in the room was unacceptable. Breakfast was tasty but pricey. The location is quite good, close to mall and convivence stores. Also, be prepare to pay for the parking lot.

Somewhat far from the old town

The hotel was very good, but they would charge extra for using the pool. The mini bar was more like a box for storing things. It would never cool. The service desk was usually empty. We had to ring the bell for assistance. It was very far from the old town. Once in the old town, it was very hard to find a parking spot.
