We enjoyed our overstay and will be back again! Loved to spa bath.. only one tiny negative thing I could say is - wish had more shampoo and conditioner for my long hair!. Excellent breakfast buffet deal if you do pay advance, we felt like we are on holiday!
Loved the hotel, the Bistro was adequate but we would opt to eat out next visit. We had a lake view and it was very quiet and peaceful to sit at our patio table and watch the sun go down.
Excellent stay. Clean and comfortable, good value for money. The bed was too soft, or maybe well used. Buffet breakfast at $20 prepaid was a bargain. I'd stay again.
Pleasant stay with comfortable beds and decent sized room. Great channel selection on TV! Woman at front desk in the morning was very nice and helpful. Price well worth it and good location. Ample parking.
If you are looking for a safe, well appointed, comfortable venue then this is a great choice. The licensed club adjacent is a bonus with meals B, L & D, entertainment and beverages.
Highly recommended.
