"Absolutely worth it and just perfect!"

10.0

The location, the staff who was ever so friendly from check in to check out. We actually slept comfortably, the beds were perfect, the room had everything and there was absolutely no noises.the only thing if anything was I’d like the water to get hotter. Oh and lest we not forget the breakfast was killer! Full breakfast for everyone no matter what you like, it was provided. I have stayed at many holiday inns but this is the first hotel I’ve see every type of breakfast you could want. It was great!

The hot water wasn’t very hot

"Quick overnight stay - Met all our needs with nice Perks included. Would stay again. Friendly staff!"

9.0

Nice perks: parking is free and you can easily come and go. Breakfast included with coffee available 24 hours per day. Large room (stayed in two queen beds, with pull out couch), with nice size bathroom. Room had nice size refrigerator, microwave and single cup coffee maker, and safe. Comfortable queen beds. Checked in after 11pm at night after very tiring full day of travel, staff extremely pleasant and quickly checked us in.

Pull-out couch bed not very comfortable. Very thin mattress, could feel all the springs.

"Fantastic"

10.0

I had a great stay here during a stressful time while my home was undergoing some construction. Dee and Jade were absolutely fantastic and made a stressful situation so much easier for my family. Some of my family members have dietary restrictions, and both Dee and Jade went out of their way to accommodate them. Dee even personally picked up food for my spouse and called my mobile to let me know she would have something safe to eat for breakfast the next morning. That level of care meant a lot to us. We also had unexpected delays with our home repairs, and Dee made extending our stay quick and painless. Dee’s kindness, flexibility, and genuine care really stood out. Huge thanks to Dee and Jade. They made us feel truly supported and welcomed.
