We loved the spacious room and location of the hotel. The breakfasts delivered to the room was fresh and healthy and good. The staff was very friendly and let us have an early check in. I’d have given the hotel 5 stars but it does need a bit of a facelift.

Clean, comfortable and well maintained property that’s good value for the area. Great location. They’ve worked hard to bring some nice charm and character to the “motel” bones of the place. The only issue is that the walls are a bit thin - hopefully you have quiet neighbors next to your room.
