The buffet breakfast was not great. The eggs were overcooked and dry as were the bacon and sausages. On the other hand, the hotel and the staff were great.

Good facility. Clean breakfast area, with usual breakfast bar items - scrambled eggs, cheese omelets, bacon, sausuages, yogurt, cereals, and my personal favourite oatmeal’s with toppings. Didn’t use the pool this time. Clean rooms, but the five days before bed linens are changed is a bit much.. should be every other day. We were there for three nights so the third night night after some long days would’ve been nice for fresh sheets for our last night. Love the black out blinds as we were facing east so the sunlight wasn’t a bother early in the summer morning. Air conditioning is top-notch. Ee appreciated the large bathroom counter. The Ivory pump soap in the shower is just okay.. didn’t like the smell of it and we’ve had better in other establishments. You may however like it. Really appreciated the EV car charging stations. Always had a free one when we arrived back from our daily errands.

One of the best hotels I have stayed at! Very clean, nicely decorated, had everything we needed, and was very comfortable. The room was thoughtfully put together with multiple places to get ready and lots of plug ins. Bathroom was impeccably clean! Pool area was very nice and very clean. Pool and hot tub water was nice and clear and the exercise room was also well done and clean. Continental breakfast was provided and added a great value to our stay. We would definitely stay here again and would also recommend to others.
