"Great location, comfortable and spacious rooms. Would recommend. Had issues with prepaid parking which took quite a bit of our time to convince staff that we already had paid. Had to present my bank statement to prove I had already been charged and email. On checkout, had to go through the whole process again with different staff to prove that that parking fee had already been deducted from my bank account an after previous staff had advised it was sorted. Do not book parking and pay for parking online. Contact property, and pay on arrival at the property,"

"Overall great stay. It sure how many of their stays are two nights like us, but having handy the top things to do in town and in the area would be great. Better yet, offer to send it in advance. The other thing I would say is that there needs to be more hooks on the walls so two people can each hang a towel, toiletries bag plus clothes you plan to put on after a shower. This is consistently an observation for all accommodations."
