I had a pretty mixed experience at this hotel. While the pool area was enjoyable and the family-friendly atmosphere was a definite plus, the rooms didn't quite meet my expectations, especially with a construction site nearby. The service was mostly attentive, but the price for amenities felt a bit excessive for what was offered, and the dining experience could use some refinement.
