A modest 4-star hotel. The breakfast was substandard and disappointing for a hotel in this category. There was no mini-fridge in the room and no gym on the property. Overall, the facilities felt quite basic for a 4-star hotel.

It was right next to the banquet hall, and a wedding was there, kids playing and screaming right next to my window, that should have been given to the wedding party, not one night guest, driving the next morning. Also I am not sure if the place is dirty or outdated, wasn't as clean as I would expected it should be.

Reviewed Jan 20, 2026We never ended up staying there as when we checked in we discovered that it was incorrectly advertised, the bed description was 2 large beds in the room only to find it was 2 normal size double beds which is too small for the 4 adults travelling, we argued the fact that the add was misleading. They couldn’t accommodate us for 2 large beds so we had to look for alternative accommodation for the night, so when booking, double check your bed size if that is important to you.
