The hotel is well located and the parking instructions are clear. The room was clean and bright, and the bed was comfortable. The bathroom in our room was modern and new. The weather was very cold and the heat did not work in the rooms, but the owner gave us an electric heater that sweetened our stay. The restaurant is good with reasonable prices. I ate there both dinner and breakfast and both were well cooked. Very kind and polite waitress.

YOU WONT GET ANY SLEEP|What an Awful place. Last year I was let down the night before my stay and was treated very unfairly. This year I thought give it another chance because it’s reasonably priced and the food is nice. …

Disappointed is an understatement. Family room was poor and not adequate for a family of 4 even though I rang up to confirm it would be 2adults & 2children under the age of 10 staying. …
