One of our most favourite hotels in our 4 wk stay. Very spacious, modern room with a comfortable bed. Bathroom was gorgeous! A huge vanity, with great lighting. Lots of variety at breakfast, including a full cooked breakfast. Staff were very helpful. Convenient parking, and on-site washing facilities.

Efficient check in, room and facilities in general appeared clean, bed reasonably comfortable. We had only one bath towel in our room and towels were rather thin and insubstantial. Breakfast had a nice variety of food and the breakfast area was clean.
