Dining: Notties Restaurant and Pub offering a-la-carte menu .

Entertainment: lively pub atmosphere with local music .

“The hotel's lively pub is a definite draw, offering a great atmosphere, friendly staff, and late-night entertainment; however, light sleepers should request rooms away from the bar area. Its pet-friendly policy and convenient access to family activities and local attractions are also notable advantages; plus, breakfast gets high marks. I'd recommend it for those seeking a vibrant and convenient stay.”
