Generally good. Their website says there is a "Hot Tub or Spa", but there isn't. The TV in my room was broken the first night, but it was fixed the second night. The breakfast was good.

Room was pretty clean and cozy. We only stayed one night. We got a parking spot in front (lucky us) because the lot was packed. We walked around the area to grabs drinks and food and even to the casino nearby. 9/10 stay.

Wow did we feel like we hit the lottery here! Hotel checked all the boxes for us AND we got to go to a UK football game while we were in town. The shuttle has a stop right a crossed the street from the hotel!! This was an unexpected BONUS for us!! There were several good food options within walking distance as well.
