    spacious family room
    wealth of activities
    movie night
    air conditioning unit

    We had a lovely stay with my four kids! The family room was spacious and clean, making it perfect for our crew. The kids loved the wealth of activities available, especially the movie night in the Cinema Room. Great way to wind down after a busy day!

    In my wife’s opinion, an air conditioning unit would be great for warm nights.

    fine decor
    great atmosphere

    Solo traveler experience worth sharing

    I met some amazing folks during my stay which made it lovely. The decorations are fine, modern vibes everywhere you look and the kitchen was decent enough to whip up something when I wanted to save a few bucks.

    Not cheap but still manageable for a solo traveler like me.
