The room appeared clean, but we found food wrappers and nut shells under the bed, behind chair, etc. On the bright side, the place is modern, comfortable and staff very friendly and efficient.

Excellent stay, comfortable, clean room, great staff, easy check in and out and a delicious buffet breakfast. One waitress remembered that i had asked for GF bread on the first day so she asked if i would like some again when i came in for breakfast on the second day which was a lovely surprise that she took the time to remember me. And to top it all off they have included parking on site. 10 out of 10 would recommend
