Disliked: Amenities
The staff tried to change my credit card ( one I no longer use) it didn’t go through, so my reservation for 2 rooms was cancelled without any notice. They were then unwilling to help in any way. As we were travelling on motorcycles 6 hours from home with no accommodation, I was less than impressed. One of the people in our group is a travel agent, so this will not go unnoticed. I expect some feedback on this ridiculous situation.

It’s great I stay there every Monday for work. The staff are great the location is convenient. There is two small things they can upgrade one the pillows are half pillows and two the blankets could be replaced they are these old weird itchy blankets kind of like the fireproof material. Just the pillows and blankets need upgrading besides that I have no complaints and will be a weekly costumer.

Bit dated (not necessarily in a bad way, it's almost a relic of a time long past, but expect some wallpaper damage and some mild moisture damage in the bathroom). Besides that, clean, didn't smell too much (literally opened a window for a minute and it was fine, the smell of any hotel/inn room). Check-in was easy, parking was a breeze, breakfast was at a humane time (6:30am-9:30am) and not unpleasant (I mean, it was good. Don't expect gourmet). I didn't get a chance to check out the other facilities but they appeared to be good as well. Overall, considering what you're getting for the price you pay, it was well worth it. My only real complaint was that there was no fan in the bathroom, but there was a window which I guess has the same effect.
