Old, well worn and with hidden costs like paid parking even though the hotel is well out of the city with its own large parking lot. Cheap but not cheap enough to stay again.

EV charging just outside the city

We picked this primarily with EV charging in mind, and weren't disappointed either. Comfy beds, nice meals. Friendly staff, clean. Its 3 miles south of the city but the city parking is good and the traffics not bad.

Rude Staff was New and no solution offered.

The reception staff was extremely rude and not accomodating. It was easter break when i visited. I had booked the pool for use with my son btw 4pm - 5pm post check in but was sent back when we arrived at the pool by the staff. Staff was extremely rude and unprofessional. There was no mannerism in her speaking - she mentioned i cant go in even though i have booked in with my room. I was disappointed by her behaviour and reported it to the front desk only to get an answer " she is new" but not a solution to the inconvenience i had faced. My son and I booked the hotel mainly for the pool use and some time together. After hours of my argument for a solution, i was offered to come between 6am -7am the next day. I did it for my son but am never visiting again. Ruined our time and relaxation there.

We regularly stay here because of the spa, the breakfasts, the dining options in the evening & ease of parking. The staff are polite, friendly and efficient. The new pancake machine at breakfast is a good addition.
