9.4/10 Exceptional! (643 reviews)
What a fantastic experience! The moment we stepped in, the staff greeted us with genuine smiles and made us feel right at home. Checking in was a breeze. The hotel's aesthetics were stunning, everything was immaculately kept. The rooms were not only spacious but also thoughtfully decorated. I will absolutely choose to stay here again in the future. 5 stars all the way!

Sep 14, 2019We went on Tuesday, Sept 10; the rides were closed, but that's ok; it was early, foggy, empty, eerie,which was great for art photography! With the exception of the maintenance crew, we had the run of the place. Score! Probably not what most visitors want from a review, but for those who are into art photography, you get it!!
4/5 - Good
