Good location, on-site eateries & friendly staff
Friendly and welcoming staff at the front desk who gave us an unexpected upgrade (which was truly appreciated after 4 very long days on the road). There’s a restaurant and a tavern on-site, which again made our overnight stay relaxing. We opted for the tavern and the food arrived quickly, was reasonably priced and tasted great.

very friendly
check in & departure was very quick & easy, they were very friendly. it was great that you could park your car right at your door, a touch noisy near the pool, but they settled by 8pm. room was spacious, bed was comfy, bathroom was standard, I didn't want to do anymore driving so walked to Pub next door for dinner.
