Leisure & Business

Additionally, staying at the property, active guests can enjoy a great golf course and a golf playground on site.

“This extended-stay option aims for practicality, though some aspects require updates; I noted past guests mentioning the need for renovations in the kitchen and bathroom. The primary draw appears to be longer-term accommodation, but be aware that some rooms may not fully block external noise or smoke. While generally clean, attention to detail in floor maintenance could be improved.”
