For its value, it’s great and only 10 mins drive to downtown. The staff was great but the only reason I did not give this hotel a five star is because our sofa bed was not prepared for us before we arrived. The host said the bed should have been pulled out, sheets and blankets made. We have to go to the lobby to ask for blankets and pillows. We booked for two adults and two children.

The property was to the standard expected. The room was clean and the check in process was made easy by a helpful employee. The parking was difficult with the volume of cars however it was included which was appreciated. We didn’t have breakfast in the morning but the coffee tasted a little funny.

Staff v friendly. Room v clean. More staff needed at busy breakfast time as tables needed cleaning and drinks area needed tidying but staff were doing their best. Maybe better choice of eggs (eg fried) not just scrambled. Room was comfortable and serviced well daily. Maybe bottle of water in room would be good. Plenty of parking and v good value for money. Definitely recommend and use again.
