Room was spotless, the staff at the hotel were very polite and friendly!! Amenities were terrible, all they had was coffee and tea in the morning!! When you wake up on Christmas Day, and everywhere else is closed, it would have been better, to be able to get something to eat!!!

Stay overall is always good. Just seem to find hair in the bathroom, put down the bath mat and two long black hairs were on it. Definitely not mine….that said, I enjoy the convenience of it. I do wish they would have coffee in the rooms though.
