“This spot seemed to strike a chord with travelers seeking a straightforward stay, though some found the noise a bit much for poolside lounging. The on-site restaurant and bar aimed to please, and its proximity to local attractions made it a practical choice, in my view. I think that business travelers and families could find a reasonable balance here.”
