The hotel offers adequate accommodations for a quick stay, with spacious leisure facilities like a pool and sauna, along with some friendly staff. However, the dining experience fell short due to limited menu choices and unsatisfactory food quality. Additionally, the rooms could use some serious updates, particularly concerning cleanliness and comfort.

I recently stayed at this hotel, and while it had some good aspects, there were a few drawbacks too. The staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful, which made the experience pleasant. However, the location wasn't ideal for dog walking and there are large paved parking areas that aren't very appealing. The room I had was comfortable, but it did feel a bit noisy at times. Overall, I found it to be a decent stay with friendly service but not everything was perfect.

Our stay at the hotel had some ups and downs. The rooms were spacious and offered comfort, which we appreciated, especially since we had our Golden Retriever with us.

Overall, while we had a decent time, there are definitely areas that could be enhanced for a better experience.
