The hotel had rooms that were adequate but small, and not exceptional. They were located at the end of a long corridor, providing a light, airy, and spacious area. Although a bit small, they were still comfortable. The service was friendly, attentive, and professional, especially considering drink drive laws. The location was good for touring the area, set in a quiet location with nearby facilities. The dining offered tasty options, with some room for improvement in portion sizes. Overall, a decent stay with friendly staff and enjoyable surroundings.
