Pros:

On the plus side, I’d highlight the convenient location. Our stay at the hotel was wonderful. We really enjoyed having a pool and a jacuzzi. Breakfast was served quickly, and there was a decent variety to choose from on the menu. The room was cleaned daily, so no complaints there. Parking costs $50... I don’t know... it was our first time having to pay for parking, but overall, I’m satisfied. The staff valeted the car quickly, and getting it back whenever we needed it was just as fast. The front desk staff were very friendly. Overall, I rated the hotel a 9 out of 10. I took one point off because there was no 'Do Not Disturb' sign in the room, and there was no toilet brush, which was pretty strange. All in all, we liked the hotel. A big THANK YOU to the staff and management

Average for the money it cost.
Pros:

No breakfast limited choice
Location ok

Cons:

No drinking water in the bottle provided actually there was a bit left in the bottle from previous guests. Bottle didn’t look clean.

No milk provided in the fridge so no tea in the morning.
