    Ok for one night

    Slightly dated motel style place with a small pool. It's not too far to downtown, rooms are clean but a little gloomy. Breakfast buffet is included but mediocre. Ok for a night but would be depressing for any longer.

    Family with young kids

    Nice place, clean, tidy, good rooms and feels safe. Breakfast included is really quite good, all you need for a decent start to day. Decent little gym too, hot tub and pool but we didn’t use it. Would definitely stay again.

    I agree with WowPeter. However, I've called or e-mailed the hotel and asked for early arrival and they always arrange for it..........so, do that.
