My stay at the hotel was a mixed bag. On one hand, the family suite was spacious and well-equipped with a pool, making it enjoyable for my kids. However, the overall dining experience left much to be desired with low-quality food and chaotic dining conditions. While some facilities like the pool area were decent enough, the location felt run down and not particularly inviting. Overall, it could be a good option with some improvements.
