The hotel has a great gym. It also features an indoor pool. The room was spacious. Staff were helpful. The breakfast buffet had a perfect selection for kids with a toy area.
The receptionist seemed uninterested. He did not provide details about the hotel. The keycard came in a piece of stapled paper.
