The hotel was clean and easy to find and park. It is outdated and outlets and blow dryer didn’t work. The restaurant is nice to have at the hotel but the food was not very good.

The hotel is well placed for people wanting to explore the area. The staff were all very helpful, polite and friendly, nothing was too much trouble, even though they were always busy. The room was clean and well equipped although we did have to ask for some extra pillows but as I said it was not too much trouble. We didn't have breakfast so I can't comment on that but the bar staff were lovely and helpful. I will say that the hotel could do with a bit of TLC, but it was clean and had everything we needed. I will say though get rid of the shower curtains and replace them with a screen that is my only criticism.
