The indoor pool is a highlight, and families especially love the kids' club and its activities, as well as the convenience of the games room.

Acceptable stay with issues

broken lock low temperature

The room showed its age. The balcony door lock was broken upon arrival, but maintenance fixed it quickly. The refrigerator knob was glued to the number 1 setting. I could not lower the fridge temperature. I needed to refrigerate medication, so I was worried, though it turned out ok.
