We received a very warm welcome from Megan and her team. In the evening we ate in the hotel's restaurant. We chose the lamb shanks (delicious) and the panna cotta dessert. We had a breakfast of croissants, coffee, fruit juice and cooked items from the buffet. Our checkout was friendly and efficient.
Property doesn't have central air and a bit outdated. It was very stuffy and hot the day we checked in.

Liked: Staff & service
Just an place to overnight enroute…
A big highway-frontage hotel that’s okay but a bit tired, and lacking air conditioning. Rooms big but tired, and the glasses were filthy (I’d say not used in months). However, the restaurant was quite good, but give the buffet a miss and go a la carte. Big Asian group in the night we stayed, plus lots of highway noise.
Excellent service and best property in that location.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Very clean and quiet. We were upgraded to a family room and were grateful for the kitchen and extra space.
Yes the room furnishings were dated, but it was very clean, comfortable and quiet.
Staff excellent and very helpful. Food excellent
Reception particular the Scottish lady very helpful and professional.
Rooms nice but maybe getting some TLC in due course .otherwise excellent stay and would stay again
There is no way that this so called hotel should be allowed to stay open. The room door and sliding patio door could not be locked properly so anyone could open.
The wallpaper is peeling away and stains on all surfaces and they have the cheek to charge over $200 / night !
