A amazing stay
friendly staff amazing food great location
The hotel staff were friendly and helpful, always ready to assist with a smile. I found the food in the bar and restaurant AMAZING!!! The location was great. It allowed easy access to nearby attractions. On-site parking was convenient, removing any stress about finding a space.
The shower was modern but lacked a proper enclosure. This resulted in water spraying across the entire floor.

convenient stay
on-site parking roku tv
The on-site parking was helpful. i found the room clean and the bed provided good comfort. the shower had great pressure. I also liked the roku tv, since i could log into my own streaming services. the value was great.
The main entrance was the designated smoking area. This was a bit unpleasant upon arrival. i think the hotel could improve this aspect. i found it off-putting and inconvenient.
