Very simple and clean but off the beaten track. No restaurant on site. Maybe 20 minutes walk. I took an uber because it was raining…downtown restaurant..$12 ride. The free breakfast buffet is high level. But only open for breakfast.

This hotel was well done and clean. The room was clean and well maintained. The checkin was easy and the staff were friendly and polite. The shower had all the temperatures and was easy to use. The cups in the washroom had toothpaste spots on them. This room has a tv, fridge, desk, and coffee machine. The bed was very comfortable. The breakfast was probably the best part. It has everything you could want. Definitely recommend the bacon. The restaurant was clean with excellent service. In the morning we got a little show of squirrels . Parking was nice. Recommend! 😁
