A good vacation experience

helpful staffspacious roomcomfortable lobbynoisy air conditioner
The staff was very kind and helpful. I found the rooms spacious and clean. There was also easy access to surrounding areas by car. The lobby was comfortable and spacious, proving useful for meeting family.
The air conditioner in the room was quite noisy. It affected my sleep a bit. I believe they should consider updating the older units for better comfort.

The breakfast included fruit and an egg station. There was a tennis court available. The fitness room had a good amount of equipment. It felt solid.
The air conditioning was loud. I had difficulty sleeping with it on, so I had to turn it off. Every small noise in the corridor sounded like someone was breaking into my room. It was not isolated.
