The location is a little out of the way. We did not try the bar or food onsite but heard it was very good. The facility is dated and in need of a big facelift. Staff was great but we did have housekeeping walk in the room at 8:30 without knocking. Front desk staff were awesome.

Saturday and Sunday Stay

Stay was ok. Website indicated restaurant on site but falled to note opening hours (8am on Sunday, 11 am Monday - did not check other days). My mistake for not making sure room had microwave. Room was quiet, bed was comfortable. FYI no usb charging available.
