I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were excellent, well-appointed, and comfortable, but the noise from all the partying at the pool area at all hours of the night was quite disturbing. The service was okay, but some staff members seemed a bit rude. The location was convenient, with plenty of dining options nearby but the strong smell of chlorine was a downside. The dining experience was so-so, not very accommodating. The facilities were decent overall.

My stay at the hotel was exceptional. The room was spacious, modern, and without a doubt one of the best I have stayed in for many years. Everything was very new and clean, making it one of the biggest rooms I have ever stayed in. While the service was generally attentive and responsive, there seemed to be some issues with short staffing. The location was great and easy to find, although the approach and entry were a bit puzzling. The dining experience was hearty and satisfying, but nothing too special. Overall, a comfortable and convenient experience with a few minor drawbacks.

My stay at the hotel was enjoyable overall. The rooms were clean and beautifully decorated, offering a comfortable stay. However, some visible patch jobs on the walls and ceilings took away from the overall impression. The service was friendly and helpful, but there is room for improvement in the dining options. The location was convenient with various restaurants within walking distance, although access could be a bit puzzling. The facilities were adequate, but not exceptional.
