Great location. Front desk staff were very friendly and efficient. The room was really spacious and clean with everything you need. The bed was a bit hard for me (just personal preference) and as it’s on the main road there was traffic noise at night but it wasn’t too bad and did not effect my sleep.

Looks great from the front but the room was a little tired. Fridge configuration made it difficult to get food in and out of. Great location. No microwave in room, wanting people to use their restaurant. Couple of fast food breakfast options within walking distance.
