"The location was perfect for us. The room was very clean and did not have that horrible disinfectant smell when we entered as so many rooms we have stayed in. The bed and pillows were comfortable. The complimentary breakfast included tea, coffee, juice, yoghurt, toaster wallflowers, toast with an assortment of James, bagels & cream cheese, cereal, muffins, gluten free muffins, fresh fruit, and hard boiled eggs. The attendant efficiently kept everything filled and the tables wiped off. We would stay there again."
"Great staff, Great location out of downtown but still close enough, central to lots of stores for groceries/snacks. Staff are so sweet and helpful, kitchens are stocked with basic essentials, the pool is kept clean and warm, I stay here every time and I’ve never had a bad experience!"
"Clean and spacious room! The included breakfast is at the adjacent Ricky’s restaurant with limited options. We had a great stay at this family friendly hotel."
