The hotel provided a good breakfast with helpful staff. i found the bedroom spacious and the bed super comfy. That was really a plus.
my room faced the front, and traffic noise meant i had to keep the windows shut, a shame.

large roomfriendly staffample parkingdifficult doordamp roomsoft mattress
My room was quite large with a great bathroom. the staff were genuinely friendly and helpful. They really were pretty good! parking was ample. This helped a lot because i had a big rental car.
the door was quite difficult to open, it really stuck. my room felt a bit damp, not so great. the mattress was far too soft, and i found it lumpy.

The location provided convenient access.
The menu had very limited options upon arrival. The waitress lacked knowledge about the available dishes and even basic drink selections. Road noise was excessive making sleep difficult. I checked out after only one night.
