The downstairs is a bar at night, keep that in mind if on a family trip. If staying on the back side of the hotel the bar smoking area is on that side, and the conversation noise can be a problem.

The hotel, staff and room were very good and accommodating overall. The breakfast was spotty (eggs were not great) and the internet only worked a few seconds at a time or not at all. Will stay again for the facility in general and the excellent staff.
