I have stayed there once before and will be again next month. I had a great experience. Its very modern, music playing at the pool, a great bar and restaurant too. I would say its the best hotel in the dl area for adults traveling without kids. I'm not sure how well kids would like it, and I definitely saw less kids there than other area hotels. The walk wasn't bad, 10 minutes or so. May not be a good walk for kids though. Hope you enjoy your stay there!
