Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Hotel was well run, with a nice buffet breakfast. Rooms were modern and comfortable and every clean, as was the bathroom (immediate hot water in the shower). Heating/C unit by the window was easy to use and was very quiet when running. Setting was in commercial area and fairly quiet, a 5 minute ride from downtown. Great value for the money. Would stay there again.

Breakfast offered a lot of good choices from eggs to cereal to fresh fruit. The room was clean throughout and the AC quiet and efficient. The staff was excellent in providing information and Dillan's recommendation for dinner was "spot on". The room price was very reasonable, and the indoor heated pool provide a relaxing afternoon.

Everything was very clean and very well taken care of. The bed was very comfortable the place where I think maybe the stay was lacking was the breakfast, not very exciting. It was adequate and well stocked. I do like that. There was coffee available 24 hours.
