10/10 Excellent
"The hotel is really nice, clean and modern. It definitely felt more upscale than other places we’d stayed nearby. The pool area was so nice with a great poolside bar and music. The restaurant downstairs was fully booked so we didn’t get to try unfortunately. Breakfast was decent. We would stay again."
