Another great stay!!
The hotel is well placed for the traveler. The rooms are comfortable and spacious. There is a good choice for breakfast, With a bar and restaurant you can enjoy a casual drink and food during your stay. The staff are very helpful and friendly. Free parking onsite is a great bonus as you seem to have to pay almost everywhere else. My only gripe is that we had an executive room with very poor WiFi connection. This does not detract from a very nice stay and we will look forward to returning next year.

Really like the hotel it is convenient and clean with a reasonble resturant. For this stay I needed to change the dates and between Expedia and the hotel they couldn't get their act together to move the date in time which left me with no choice but to make a second booking which cost me a lot of money.

Dragonfly
Lovely hotel. Room and bathroom were very clean. Bar area was pleasant and reasonably priced. Inly let down was that the food service was a bit slow, we waited about 50 minutes. Lots of people were waiting for meals then they all came out in one go.

We stayed for the evening son incorporated an afternoon lunch / dinner and must say the food was only average. The breakfast the following morning was terrible and because we didn’t arrive till 8.40 am some of the choices were not even available having presumably run out

Not the best experience
It's clearly a hotel running to a tight budget. Dinner in the evening was ruined as the kitchen 'lost our order' - after 50 minutes of waiting we had to re-order! Room was okay - but didn't get serviced, even with the 'Please Service my room' label hung on door. For similar price could have stayed at Holiday Inn...
