This hotel was clean with nice staff. We stayed 2 nights- my only complaint was the delicious takeaway microwaveable breakfast sandwich was out of stock the second morning- not a big deal. Will stay there again.

We have stayed here numerous times. It is pet friendly, which is nice when we bring our furry friend. Being pet friendly and seeing other dogs at the hotel, it is still a quiet hotel. I never heard another dog. The rooms were clean and modern, the staff, friendly and helpful, and the price is right. We will be back again.

Omg..We can not wait to come back and stay here. The room was super clean and well stocked. Bed was a little springy for our liking and no breakfast sandwiches were stocked this morning but we did not mind as the staff and room itself exceeded our expectations..
