Staff was friendly and got our key from the lock box since we showed up after hours. On-site free parking, room was clean, comfortable and quiet. The heater didn't work but there is a portable heater in the closet to use. Priced reasonable. Plenty to a shop and eat around the hotel. Nice pool. We would stay here again

Clean, conveniently located and excellent value for money. The bed was comfortable and the unit was spotless. The swimming pool was a bonus and was also well maintained - only suggestion is to supply an extra towel for using at the pool.
