8/10 Good
"We booked a Junior Suite (King + Sofabed) with a resort view for our stay. The “Resort View” is in reality a view of a road and general park g area and not of any part of the visible main hotel building and grounds. The room was large but dated and had a musty odor that was noticeable each time that we had returned to our room."
