"We thoroughly enjoyed our visit. It was a convenient location. Our room was spacious. Breakfast and dinner was included and great. Staff was very sweet and helpful especially Lisa at the front desk. The hotel is being renovated at the moment but they really cared about the guests and any inconvenience it may have caused. We didn’t have any issues with our stay. I wish we had more time to enjoy the rooftop pool. It was beautiful."
