Front Desk are very helpful - I was a late check in, and arrangements were made in advance, and it was a very easy process. At the same time as I was checking in late, I saw Front Desk helping out another hotel customer who was a late check in due unexpected flight delay - they went out of their way to be helpful and supportive of the late arrival, and should be commended for that support

Comfortable bed and nice bedding. The rest of the room was quite tired and overall smelled of aftershave (?) Not great value for money but fine if you just need a place to sleep.

Right from the by the time we came back. was welcoming and the room was perfect for what we needed. We were very embarassed because we did not expect the room to be serviced and left it in a shocking mess that was magically tidied.

Perfect place to stop during long drives. Nice, quiet area while right near the highway. The room has everything you could need if you're stopping by for a night or two, and the bed was magnificent!
