Highly Recommended! The staff were amazing — very friendly and helpful. A receptionist kindly helped us with our heavy luggage and showed us a shortcut to the car park. The room was cozy, clean, and the bed extremely comfortable. We had a pleasant stay and would definitely come back!

It’s a solid place to stay if you need a bed for the night. What got me was the movies are on DVD and you have to call the front to order them and have them play it for you..kinda odd. But overall great location with lots of food nearby
