I had a pleasant stay at the hotel, with clean and bright rooms that were reasonably well-appointed. The service was a bit of a mixed bag, but the staff did go above and beyond to rectify any issues. The location was fantastic, right in the heart of the town center near the park. The dining experience was basic and a bit overpriced, but overall, a decent value for the money.
