"The hotel provided key code and room assignment in advance. The breakfast was a huge surprise, Bacon, potato cakes (hash brown), coffee, this was a huge positive. The only real negative, the "hot tub". We never went in because the hot tub felt warm by touch and the air pump did not work. All the needs for a place to stay, were met, and we would recommend booking."
