Acceptable Stay with Some Issues

limited foodinsufficient toilet paper
The food options were quite limited I expected more variety. The room required some attention to detail with visible cobwebs in the bathroom. There was also a distinct lack of sufficient toilet paper it should have been better stocked.

I liked the ample parking available. staff were really clean and warm. I found many facilities. Towels, tea, coffee, bottled water, a fridge, a hairdryer, soaps, shower gel, and shampoo were all present. the shower consistently supplied hot water.
the menu had limited food options. this meant i had to find food outside every night. it was inconvenient since i booked for four nights for work.
