Average stay

Breakfast wasn't bad and free parking and low nightly rate a plus. We didn't use the pool or hot tub as there were no pool towels and our room had just two bath towels for our three night stay. Without any housekeeping during our stay, we weren't going to use bath towels for pool/hot tub. Our first night there was no heat in the room, and the third night little heat combined with hard mattress and pillows made sleep difficult. On arrival, there was the very strong scent of air freshener outside our room - not appealing.

The hotel room was good, the TV is slightly old but as long as you bring something like a Nintendo Switch or Firestick, you are able be alright. The curtains are see through which threw us off heavily but at night its hard to see through.
