We have stayed here several times in the past and continue to return. The hotel is a little dated and would benefit from a refurbishment but it is very clean, the staff are friendly and the price includes breakfast. Excellent value for money. We will continue to use this hotel when visiting this area.

The hotel is in good shapes. Some could receive more maintenance, i.e Secret Garden (fountain)... The Service staff is very friendly and give easy assistance. The parking park give you an easy choice to place your car. The food is any time tasteful and will be served friendly. The bar give you a place for relaxing. All over a good place to stay.
