Hotel was quiet and clean. Staff was friendly and helpful. Happy that there is a self-service reasonably priced coin-operated laundry machines on site. Breakfast had standard food items (scrambled eggs, potatoes, toast, etc) but I was happy that it was there.

On-site restaurant and breakfast was good. The room needs a bit of an upgrade. TV was not working, carpet needed cleaning. I did mention this on the way out and they just made a note of it. I would stay here again, its a great location and the grounds are beautiful. Kids enjoyed the pool and its a dog friendly hotel!
