Cons:

The room was next to the stairs and at night the stair door was slammed shut by guests entering and leaving the hotel which woke us up.

The cooked breakfast was very poor - powdered eggs and chicken paties. No boiled eggs or other cooked food items. Limited breakfast options when staying a number of days.

Definitely will stay here again!
Pros:

This was the best price and comfort for our family's budget during peak tourist season. The rooms are more updated than the hallways and exterior. The staff was amazing. Everyone greeted us with a great smile every time we walked by the front desk. The breakfast is good, I think the only bad reviews are from people that rushed down at 0930 trying to get eveything towards the end of service. Most travelers know the best time for continental breakfast at a fairly priced hotel is within an hour of starting service, otherwise be ready for a hot cup of coffee, some fruit, and a danish.

Cons:

Some other attendees were rude to the staff while we were there, they need to be reminded that it takes 1 moment to be kind. I wish people were kinder to the staff.

It was generally good, but do something with the weed smell in the hallways please.
Pros:

The room was ok, the beds were comfortable. The breakfast was rather good too, except for the eggs that tasted like plastic jelly. The pool was pleasant too.

Cons:

There was distinctive smell of weed smoke in the hall ways. For me, staying with my underaged son, that is a reason to avoid this hotel in the future. The water in the bathtub didn´t drain well.

Outdated hotel for a discount price!
Pros:

I did not get breakfast - there were children running about and I didn’t want to expose myself to all of that any further!

Cons:

The bathroom-it was very small and extremely outdated! The noise - doors banging, children above me running and banging! The cost of my room in Booking.com was more than the same room on the hotel website!
