Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers a lovely stay with comfortable rooms and friendly staff, although some improvements in service could enhance the experience. The location provides easy access to nearby attractions, but dining options may require planning ahead.
The hotel's location was convenient for shopping and close to various activities. However, there were challenges with restaurant availability on Friday nights. The rooms were adequately spacious with a large comfortable bed and a good smart TV, but the bathroom was compact with only a shower. The service could benefit from additional customer service training, although housekeeping was satisfactory. The dining experience was inclusive and offered tasty grilled sandwiches. The facilities were notable for their cleanliness and comfort.
The hotel is quite a mixed bag with some strong points and a few drawbacks. The rooms are equipped with a good smart TV, a large comfortable bed, and a compact, very clean bathroom with only a shower, contributing to a cozy stay. However, the service could benefit from some extra training in customer service, though the housekeeping was acceptable, and a welcome drink added a nice touch. The location is convenient, being within 2 miles of a mall, yet on a Friday night, all the restaurants we tried were fully booked, leading to delays in dining. On the positive side, the area is filled with activities along the road and is close to a store, not far from the motorway. The dining experience includes bread and is included in the stay. The facilities offered are sufficient for a comfortable stay. The price or value for money varies depending on the specific aspect.
