Very Good

The room was spotless clean and comfortable the staff friendly asked if we were okay and if we needed anything made us welcome we will definitely stay again
Stayed in a newly furnished family room which was perfect for our family. Breakfast was excellent and far better than much pricier hotels. Staff were helpful and happy , really couldn’t ask for more. The perfect stay.
