I found the staff to be very friendly! My room was clean and airy, it had everything I needed. Breakfast offered a good choice from the menu, and the portions were very generous.

The room was quite small, and I had to move sideways around the bed. Parking was somewhat limited, so I had to park a little distance away. The bathroom seemed a bit aged. Some updates would improve it.
