"It's definitely an aged property, but overall a great place to stay. The rooms were the highlight for us, very well updated. The outdoor areas less so. The pool area lacks a 4-star experience IMO, but perfect for families with young kids (it was chaotic, but plenty of towels and chairs). Solid food at restaurants, great location."
