Reviewer Type: Family With Children
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Good location and excellent service.
Negative: Food options could have been more for lunch and dinner. Perhaps due to the gas shortage, the menu felt very limited for a stay of four days. We pretty much reordered the same food.
Summary: Excellent time.
