"We had a great stay! The hotel was clean, the accommodations were comfortable, and it was perfect for our family. It shares a courtyard with the Holiday Inn, where the kids had plenty to do: Connect Four, darts, miniature golf, and even a basketball they could check out. The pool was clean and inviting, and the bar and restaurant were open in the evenings from 5 to 10 p.m. We’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend it!"
