Overall a good place to stay. The bathrooms in the suites need enclosures for families. Power went out for 1 hour in the morning.

It was good to drink tea in the morning because there was a balcony and it was good to have an emart right downstairs I should have checked out an hour late, but there was no problem. It was soundproofed well.
