8/10 Very Good

This is a big fancy hotel in a tiny town. It reeks of corporate management. The rooms are excellent and very comfortable. The hotel caters to the coach tourist trade as well as independent travelers which can make dining a bit of a crush. The location has more than enough character to make up for the hotels lack of it. If you like shiny and impersonal then this one is for you.

Easily accessible by car and close to restaurants and shops. Restaurant at the hotel had limited space available and could not be booked due to repairs to be done.

The beds in our room were shocking! Very lumpy and lots of rolling off the edge??? Would have expected better for what we paid.

10/10 Exceptional

We loved the room and being close to the many restaurants in town. Although we understand that the actual dining room was under repair, we hoped that there would be a welcoming and comfortable bar area where we could lounge and enjoy the fireplace. Unfortunately this was not possible as the bar had to be converted to dining area because of the construction.

Rooms/bathrooms were clean and updated. Only issue was our rooms were on the 2nd floor and there is not an elevator. The hotel staff did take our bags up to our rooms at check in and back down at check out.
