i found the on-site bar and restaurant provided a comfortable atmosphere with a variety of menu options. the steak was great and met expectations. the staff was friendly and the beds were comfortable. ample parking was available at the hotel.
i found the room small for my liking. the walls seemed quite thin because i could hear other people talking. it impacted my stay negatively because it was difficult to relax fully.
