Location was so convenient to town. The comfort of the rooms was great. The staff were amazing nice too. Access to the lounge for coffee was a bonus.
The tub is deep. I almost killed myself getting out of it. The bathroom tile needs a scrubbing too. The grout has spots that look like mold.

I liked the helpful staff. They found us an adapter. It helped us. They let us keep our car after checkout. Breakfast was good. The location was nice too. I found the room quite large. Staff was very friendly.
The front desk staffs was not professional. I paid for upgrade. There was no bathrobes. When they did arrive, they reminded me of hard towels.
