Excellent staff service is guaranteed!
The friendly yet professional service of the staff from the front desk manager to housekeeping staff was commendable according to most guests. They remembered the names of the guests, were more than willing to assist guests with their special requests such as room assignments, and recommended best dining options and places to visit within the area.

Negative Reviews
negative:
Limited parking slots
Guests were dismayed with the lack of enough parking spaces provided for them. The spots are very limited and the area gets a little cramped especially during the night. Some guests even had to drive around the area and park at the back side of the building which was very uncomfortable.
negative:
Small and unsatisfying pool area
Aside from the small size of the swimming pool, most guests were disappointed with the lack of enough life guards for protection and limited pool hours. Guests expressed that they wanted to enjoy the pool area and tub without kids so they prefer longer hours of pool time.
negative:
Intrusive noise due to thin wall structure
Guests complained about the loud noise coming from kids who were running within the hallway or yelling within the corridors. Slamming of doors can also be heard due to the rooms' thin wall structure.
