We enjoyed our stay. Our room was a studio suite, it was clean and the bed was very comfortable. The staff was helpful and very friendly. We only had a problem with the hot water on the last night but we let the staff know so they could correct the problem. Overall I would def recommend staying there, especially for long family trips as the onsite amenities are great.
