Very basic breakfast .
Pros:

Close to the zoo and sea world

Cons:

The breakfast was very sparse , it had waffle
Makers but they kept running out of the waffle mix the woman who was in charge of the breakfast area wasn’t there very often to refill the waffle mix , orange and apple juice,coffee was okay but very weak , no hot breakfast , just dry cereal fruit loops and brand flakes, milk was provided. Breakfast was mediocre and very lightweight. The room was nice cable channels , bathtub/shower the faucet was hard to move the body wash :shampoo ran out . It was just okay

Aile için uygun değil. Temizlik ikinci planda olan konaklamacılar için uygun sadece.
Pros:

Konum

Cons:

Temizlik çok kötüydü. Hem odanın zeminindeki halı hem koltuklar çok çok kirliydi. Banyoda kirliydi. Evet ucuz biryer ama hijyen en temel konu. Hijyen namına çok zayıftı

Pros:

I like the location

Cons:

I didn’t like that when we checked in I had made reservations for 2 rooms. After they gave me the keys only one room was ready. The other room wasnt cleaned so we had to wait another hour for them to clean it. Also the next morning as we were getting ready the power went out in our room. They didn’t have many options for their breakfast. Only waffles, fruit and yogurt. When we asked if they had any bagels or bread available the staff said no,
