Fantastic stay! Great location and friendly staff!
delicious food relaxing walk clean room
The breakfast was AMAZING!!! There was a great selection of well-presented food, and it tasted delicious! I was able to walk to the older part of the town in just 20 minutes. The walk was relaxing. I extended my three-day stay to six because the rooms were clean and my stay was so relaxing.
The shower was not adjustable. It was positioned low. I had to bend down to fit under it. It was a small inconvenience.

a good stay
ample parking helpful staff
The hotel offered free parking, a great convenience! the staff impressed me with their helpfulness and friendliness. i particularly enjoyed the steakhouse and carvery. i ate there every night because the food was delicious and well-priced.
The room smelled of paint. It was overwhelming. i opened the windows to air it out, but the chemical smell lingered throughout my stay. also, there was no housekeeping service. My room wasn't cleaned, and towels weren't changed.

The room was clean. Breakfast had many options and food was cooked fresh. Staff was friendly and very helpful. Parking had plenty of space and it was easy. I find the location convenient to the city center.
