Pretty good place to stay. Clean. Free in room continental breakfast was a nice touch. Friendly lady who checked us in. A small discount off some deinks at the co-located tavern. Set back from the highway, so you couldn't hear the passing traffic. Unfortunately the night that we stayed there was a band playing in the tavern and it was loud. Perhaps better for a mid week stay when that can be avoided

Very pleasant welcome on arrival and thorough information given (although some of it turned out incorrect). The room was basic but had good amenities with continental breakfast provided. The bed was on the hard side. On the surface, everything was clean but found to be in need of attention behind doors, around light switches and handles and on the entry patio. The meal at the Tavern was very good. Just very disappointed we had very little sleep due to other guests partying next door. When we rang reception they came and asked them to quieten down (11pm) but they still carried on, albeit a little quieter, till well after midnight.
