“I found the value here genuinely surprising, especially considering the generous breakfast spread and the unexpected spaciousness of the rooms, which felt more like a comfortable suite. The gym facilities were more than adequate, and the pool area, while requiring a brief outdoor dash for a pass, proved a hit for younger guests.”
