Room/hotel was generally fine. The thing that killed it for me was walking into the room and being hit by a cloud of what smelled like cheap cologne. Seemed that someone had been smoking cigarettes in the bathroom and this was the answer. The "cologne" gradually faded but the bathroom still smelled like an ashtray the next morning.

Breakfast was a little disappointing. Not much of a selection. Other than that, hotel was clean and quiet and overall a good stay.

Wish the pub had been open as I'd been looking forward to a burger or such. Pool had 2 birthday parties going on not much room for adults.

Our room was wonderful...recently remodeled.Very roomy...clean...comfortable. If there was anything negative was the noise made by children around 12:00am. That's probably more on the parents of those children. I would not hesitate to stay there again.
