For a small town, this hotel has a big-time feel. Clearly it's an event venue although that's not why we were there. Food was above average, and staff's attitude was extremely helpful, right up there with five-star locations as far as service and consideration.
Very clean rooms, pool is very good & child friendly. & Staff very friendly & food is good. Only observation some furniture in our room and in lobby is damaged & shabby & doesnt reflect the rest of the stay & service
Nice hotel but needs some updating. Carpets in room were stained and toilet kept running making it difficult to flush properly. Pillows were flimsy but bed was comfy and room was over all clean.
Could do with a facelift I think, shower was inadequate water was trickling put as so limescaled up. Coffee are breakfast was lukewarm the sugar never even melted.
