The hotel is vibrant with colorful decor and a fun atmosphere. The pool area is a great feature. It provided a place for relaxation. I found the free bikes to be a nice perk, nice for easy exploration of the area. The staff were always helpful and friendly!

I had difficulty locating an ice machine. It was a bit of a walk each time I needed ice.
