I enjoyed the stay. The room was nice. Hot tub was great. Ate at Ryan’s pub, food was great. The atmosphere was welcoming and staff was polite. Definitely a relaxing experience even if the pool was chilly. All over great time.

A reasonably well run facility with obvious on going updates. More attention is needed on maintenance upkeep and site security. Cameras and increased lighting could help. Site and directional signage would also be helpful.

Great NB Option

This hotel is perfect for the cost. The rooms are a bit smaller, but they are clean and comfortable. Pool is great, parking ample, and breakfast is good enough. Stay here with confidence. This is better than the average star reviews posted.

We had the large tub suite. Room itself looks beautiful except gap on at bottom if door let kight and bugs in. Sink was slow. Maintenance did not fix while we were there. Exterior of building ceilings, doors, stairwells needs maintenance still. The breakfast never changed at all for the 3 days we were there. I wish they would have offered a dairyfree milk and gluten free option. Ryan's Pub inside hotel is the best. Licals love it's cheap prices and chance to play pool. Fast service with great tasting food.
