Really good stay!

park viewclean environmenthelpful staffthin walls
The double beautiful room offered fantastic park views. Everything about my stay was so nice, and I look forward to returning. The hotel maintained a spotlessly clean environment, and the staff were helpful. I also appreciated the food options available.
The thin walls resulted in considerable noise. I could clearly hear a television playing until 3am, and it was difficult to sleep well because of this.

the location is very convenient , right on the pleasure beach. the room was of good quality , i especially enjoyed the view of the park. the beds were really comfortable in our spacious room , and housekeeping kept it very clean.
the room felt cold when i first entered , and i had to set the air conditioning very high to heat it. i spent a lot of time manually adjusting the air , it seemed to blow either too hot or too cold. there was no hot water at the hand basin , i let it run but it remained cold.
