The staff are nice and the surrounding area is nice. The best part is pool. You can have sauna , the hot tub and a nice swimming pool. The room quality is pretty bad. No window and the smell can be bad even if u don’t eat anything inside the room.

The beds were very hard. There were tiny ants on the floor in the bathroom every time someone went in. None of the exterior doors locked, so the only security was the one lock on the room door. Pool was the only nice area but very small pool and was very busy the whole stay.

We like the hotel being close to shops, restaurants and not too far away from attractions. Cool swimming pool set up, the kids love it. Beds are comfortable. Downside: bathroom is pretty tight, the door is hitting the toilet and person using it, wish there are hooks in the bathroom to hang towels on, under the bed and couch are dirty. The staff are amazing and overall we had a good time.

Disappointing

Beds are NOT comfortable, walls not well insulated because you can hear everything that's going on in the room next door. Room cleaning and restocking only done if a 24h request is made to the front desk. Pool is beautiful but overcrowded and children were in the 18 and over side which is the scandanavian spa area. Will not return to this place and do not recommend it.

The entire hotel needs good cleaning. There were awfully soiled carpets in the hallways, luckily no carpets in rooms. Bathroom grout cleaner was had mold and mildew. Floor in the room was not mopped. Bedding seemed clean as well as the towels, which is the most important.

Les chambres sont basics. Nous avions 2 lits ( possibilité de 4 personnes) et qu'une chaise pour s'asseoir pour 2 personnes. En. Plus ils ont decidé de nous donner la chambre completement au fond du couloir. On dirait que lorsque l'on réserve dur les sites que les chambres sont moins belles et les moins bien situées.

Don’t expect too much. Reception staff not too helpful. Tried to check in early (2pm) and got not help whatsoever. Were told that rooms not guaranteed before 4pm. Amen! Came back later in the evening and were allocated an awful room in the semi basement, no view, noisy. Not coming back to this place.
