Fantastic stay! Great location and friendly staff!
delicious foodrelaxing walkclean roomunadjustable shower
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.

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.
