Reviews and Ratings
I found the hotel to be a comfortable and clean stay, but there was an issue with a loud fan noise that disrupted our rest. On the positive side, the rooms were spotless, and the shower was a nice touch over a tub combo, offering convenience. The service at the hotel was top-notch with the staff going out of their way to be helpful and friendly, providing us with all the requested items. The location had its ups and downs, being convenient with easy access to amenities but challenging to find without GPS in an industrial park. The dining experience was a pleasant surprise with a rare and exceptional free breakfast, including artisanal bread. Overall, it was a good stay with some minor inconveniences.
My stay at the hotel was a great getaway well worth it. The rooms were comfortable and clean, but I wished the first night had been free even though we were moved. The service was very helpful and professional, especially appreciated how they were busy keeping things full even late at 9:30. The location was good with convenient access to the highway, gas stations, and restaurants, although it was a bit challenging to find without GPS, hidden in an industrial park. The dining was delicious with many options but ran out of food on both days, and the facility had homemade pies and jams.
I really loved my stay at this hotel. The rooms were quiet and very clean, making for a delightful stay. The service was outstanding, with staff going above and beyond to ensure our needs were met. The location was good, though a bit difficult to find without GPS. The dining experience was top-notch, with possibly the best 'free' breakfast I've had. Overall, a great value for money.
