We had a great stay in this family run hotel. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was plentiful and varied and we also enjoyed a simple 3 course dinner which we enjoyed. We had a soak in the outdoor hot tub which was a bonus

Do not stay here . Very noisy .

The hotel and room seems older but we were fine with that . There was a strange smell like candles being burnt to cover a bad smell. Our issue is they put us in a room below the ground floor next to the hot tub . We did not sleep that night . It was noise from the minute we got to bed until we just got up had breakfast and checked out. There was footsteps and furniture dragging above us plus constant talking in the hallway outside our room . Also loud noises of water like a giant toilet being flushed . I think this may be related to the hot tub . The front desk clerk did not seem concerned or offer to rectify .

The hotel was great. Quiet. The Sauna was good. The hottubs were fine, but no jets. Breakfast was hearty and fresh. Location is fine but not really in walking distance of dining options. That being said, it was a quick drive to the center of the city with some great dining options.

Pulling up to the hotel, we noticed the place looked dated and the grounds were messy. The check in area smelled of an antique store and the whole facility was dated. We got to the room and the first thing we noticed was the smell, it smelled of mold. Around the windows was dirty and moldy. The ceiling was discolored. The blanket had a stain on it. The carpets were gross.

The hotel caters for large coach parties. We couldn’t find a breakfast table so we had to come back later. Our room was small & looked out onto waste land. The hotel is a long way out of town, beside the airport. However, the price was affordable & a decent breakfast was included.

Our family of 5 stayed in the family suite which was spacious and comfortable. The one suggestion for improvement would be to add a second sink to the common area, since there was only one shared bathroom. This is at the edge of town, up a hill. I would not recommend for those who don’t have a car. There is a hiking trail behind the property. It is quiet and pleasant.
