Restaurant was closed, toilet wouldn’t stop flushing unless you pulled the knob up, bathroom sink continues to run, no exhaust fan in bathroom, toilet paper small squares you pull from a box. To fill the kettle you have to use a small class as it doesn’t fit u der the bathroom sink faucet.

The title resort is hardly warranted.

Disappointing lack of equipment in room, had a toaster and jug but no cutlery at all - not even a teaspoon to stir the tea/coffee. Bathroom was tired with some cracked tiles but clean. Only two hard chairs. Beds on the other hand were comfortable.

Location was convenient as we were visiting relatives close by. Didn't find out until half way through our short stay that daily room makeup was not included, although we had a standard motel room. When booking we requested a quiet room & found that two of our five nights stay there were very noisy motel guests staying above our room, basically partying most of the night or talking very loud until late in the night, making it very hard to sleep. Ground floor location was good & that we could park directly outside our room.
