Really good stay!

different pools stationary bikes great location

I REALLY liked the different pools available. The gym included three treadmills and two stationary bikes. Vending machines in the basement made getting drinks EASY. The location impressed me (it's close to shops!).

The decor looked somewhat dated.

This hotel features both indoor and outdoor pools that are very clean. a sauna and a gym. Lifeguards are present and very helpful at the main pool. I noticed a slide that children seemed to love.

outdated decor loud plumbing

I must say, the room looked like it was stuck in a time warp. I swear, the furniture selection seemed like it was auditioning for a museum exhibit. The outdated decor screamed for a makeover. the noise levels made relaxation a challenge. I could hear every conversation in the hallway and each flush from neighboring rooms. Sleep was a real luxury there.

Excellent Location and Great Pools

convenient location hit pool well-equipped gym

The location was convenient. The tram stop is right outside the hotel. the pools were a hit. i also found the gym well-equipped. it had multiple treadmills and stationary bikes.

i found some dust accumulation on the ceiling fans. i think more frequent cleaning in this area would improve the overall experience.
