tidy bedroom food variety excellent service
The bedroom was clean, tidy and comfortable. I had breakfast at the restaurant. There was an excellent variety of food and my son especially loved making his own pancakes. It was AMAZING!!! The service in the restaurant was excellent.
The sink in the bathroom was a bit slow draining.

underwhelming stay overall
awful shower sagging mattress
the staff at the front desk greeted us warmly upon arrival. i appreciated the hotel's inviting appearance.
The family room seemed like a cheap b&b. the shower pulsed between boiling hot and freezing. I found it awful. the mattress sagged.

lovely stay
spacious room good cleanliness
the room was spacious for families i found the cleanliness really commendable facilities were very well kept.
i found the breakfast average and certainly not what i would expect from a hotel with a 4-star rating the room was fine but quite expensive. breakfast and parking were additional charges on top of this i found two towels sufficient though the third felt rough.
