I loved that the breakfast buffet had a wide selection. It was good value. The hotel has a pool, sauna, basketball, and tennis available to guests, and the equipment was in excellent condition, we took advantage of them all. The staff provided all the equipment, they are amazing! I found free parking available onsite, and this was useful.
Our room was okay, but it could benefit from a little refresh to elevate it further. This would make it perfect.
