    Room on ground level and accepted dogs - so great for us. Value could have been better but we did travel in peak season. Room was clean and modern. Location was great and central to everything we needed for a short stop over. Bowling club...

    I had the room in the Corner - First Floor. Very clean and a good size room. And a very quiet location, as I had the window open at night, I also had undercover Parking, bonus for me. They also had Netflix, which I did watch. A great Stay !
