Spacious and comfortable room with a queen bed. I’d prefer a king for that extra space, but for one night it was fine. The on site restaurant made getting dinner easy without having to drive into town.

The hotel was ok. Check in simple. Room spacious and clean. Don’t go expecting to use the pool…, the water is green and looks like they abandoned trying to maintain it. Too bad, it looks like a nice pool.

The receptionist who we eventually found to check us in (not in the office and not answering any phones) told us we weren’t booked, despite my confirmation email. She was rude and unhelpful. It seemed we were a major inconvenience in her day!
