Family-focused reviews and ratings
A good affordable stay, but the food could improve. Overall, a positive experience.
A bit pricey, but the waterpark and arcade made it fun for the kids. Rooms could use some updating.
My family and I had a great time! The location was perfect, and the suite was spacious. The pizza was surprisingly good!
It was okay, a bit outdated but the location was great for my business trip.
The hotel is dated but has some good features. I would probably choose a different place next time.
