Staying at this hotel was very convenient due to its location. My kids enjoyed the breakfast and the kitchen staff were fantastic! The only thing we don’t like was the sofa bed. It was very old and uncomfortable. We had to used it as we are a family of 5. We suggest to update those sofas for a more comfortable ones. Besides that, we loved to stay at this hotel.
