The hotel was clean and good for families with pets. It is old and run down but that didn't matter to us and our 3 kids. The kids loved the water park and it is in walking distance to restaurants and shops.

The pool and Waterpark are the reasons we stayed here. The pools and pool area could use some attention, but it was decent enough. I did step on something sharp in the Waterpark area which had to be pulled out of my foot and bled a lot, so I've got that going for me. Here's hoping for no infections!

Room was very nice, clean & bed was firm. Bathroom was also clean. Very nice location, walking distance to the center of the city. Have room coffee (not the best) and down by the reception too early mornings. Water park is really for little kids.
