Fantastic Stay with Ample Amenities

modern bathroom excellent dinner service convenient parking

I stayed in a well-equipped suite with a large bed and modern bathroom. The hotel restaurant was busy, but the dinner service was excellent. Parking was very convenient, I could easily walk to town (it saved me time searching for alternatives). I also got help from the efficient receptionist.

The gym access was limited. It opened later than I preferred for my early morning workout schedule.

My executive one-bedroom suite offered a separate lounge area and a fully equipped kitchen with modern appliances, including a large refrigerator and microwave. The room included a work desk with multiple power outlets, facilitating business tasks, and complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi was available, a nice perk.

Location

comfy beds restaurant food outdated tvs limited menu

the beds were comfy, i slept soundly! the pool area was also nice. everything was really clean, i noticed that. the restaurant served great food.

the tvs in the rooms are a bit outdated, i think. also, the late-night snack menu is limited. it would be nice to have more choices available, tbh. i think the room was a little squashy, though

The hotel has modern interiors and well-kept grounds. I loved the swimming pool! The staff members were helpful. The location offers easy access to restaurants. The updated bathroom was a plus. The gym and restaurant provided added convenience .

My door did not shut properly. I saw a bow in the door. This caused it to sit less flush against the wall.
