Large “old style” motel but well maintained. Reception area nicely updated with friendly and helpful staff. The hidden gem is the pub - small cozy atmosphere, good drinks & surprising delicious food. Wish our stay could of been longer to enjoy the pool and other amenities.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
While the property is older, the room had all the modern features as a new hotel,(coffee maker,microwave, fridge, hair dryer etc.) The room was spotless! Beds were comfortable and the location of the room was quiet. The check in was quick and efficient, the clerk lovely and friendly. We did not partake of the breakfast, as we left to early to enjoy it. All in all a perfectly pleasant and budget friendly experience.
