Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Guests often appreciate the rooms, finding them adequate and clean, with many highlighting the convenience of having both a bath and shower in the bathroom. The provision of ample tea and coffee is a frequently mentioned perk, and the hotel's location is considered convenient, being within a short drive from the town center. Some guests have mentioned minor issues with the USB ports in the rooms, but overall, the hotel offers good value, with some rooms offering great views towards the city center. The new bathrooms impress with plenty of hot water and fluffy towels, and free on-site parking is available.

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.

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.
