Decent hotel close to everything in town. Parking is a bit limited and all the rooms have outside entrances so it was a bit noisy.

Good location …

Great location. Hotel rooms are in need of updating and refurbishment but was clean at least. Pool was great. Breakfast was below average and didn’t feel or taste healthy.
Gary, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Room was very clean comfortable. Breakfast was really good compared to other free breakfasts. Did not use the pool because it was cold and you have to walk outside to get to it.
