Room was comfortable. The only issue I had was there was a strange thumping noise through out the night. Sounded like wind blowing something around outside my window.

Friendly staff and clean facilities. Disappointed that the restaurant is in transition. Mainly because I was looking forward to their French fries I’ve had during previous stays.
