This property was conveniently located, clean & the beds were very comfortable. We booked a room upstairs as we wanted the spa bath. The spa bath was huge but unfortunately we could not get the jets to work. We would suggest a set of instructions.

Dishonest and disgusting .
DO NOT STAY HERE. On a busy HWY. Extra charges for laundry AND a spoonful of soap ? Carpet is tired. Not convenient to restaurants. Small parking spaces. Loud screaming at 3AM both nights. No lift. Dated bathrooms. Charged for stolen/broken appliance which DID not happen. 40 years and thousands of hotel stays and this was the WORST experience.

Lovely unit, really nice that we got upgraded to a spa bath. Just a couple of maintenance needs in the bathroom as the extractor fan doesn't remove the condensation hardly at all and there's grout crumbling out from the tiles. Lovely staff, we feel very well looked after
