Convenient Stay with Park Access

comfortable bedexcellent diningbird parkample parking
the room featured a very comfortable bed and i could easily adjust the temperature for optimal comfort. the on-site restaurant provided excellent dining options i found very appealing. complimentary access to the bird park next to the hotel was a nice addition, offering a great activity. parking was consistently available, particularly helpful as i had a large trailer.
the carpet in my room seemed a bit dated maybe from the 90s, and the minifridge was not working .

decent stay with some issues

dated roompoor breakfast
the room was a bit dated. the bathroom looked like it needed some work. the breakfast selection wasn't as good as at other hotels i have visited. also, the different hotel parts are spread across multiple buildings which isn't fun when the weather is bad.
