I had a wonderful family stay at Newpark Hotel, with plenty of pros and a couple of minor drawbacks. The staff were really good, making our experience enjoyable and comfortable. The kids loved the pet farm and the evening entertainment, while I appreciated the well-maintained facilities. However, the toddler playroom could use a bit of attention, as it seemed a bit outdated and not very clean. Overall, my family and I had a great time! 😊
