The room was clean and very comfortable. The front staff receptionists, especially Anthony, was absolutely amazing. The breakfast was very good with many offerings. Every afternoon, at 5, wine and snacks were served in the lobby. The coffee machine in the lobby was also a great bonus; you could select specialty coffee beverages. The pool area is beautiful and very relaxing. We travelled with our dog. The hotel offered a fenced dog run at the back of the property and we had an easy walk to a beautiful park with a lake right next to the hotel.
