Excellent location, Excellent room, Courteous Staff, Excellent Hot Breakfast arrangements with plenty of tables and seats. Got a free upgrade to a Lake View room as for some reason the original room became unavailable. They just kindly did it without telling me, but I could see and hear them trouble shooting this issue. Only took them a few minutes, no biggie. Not for once I felt inconvenienced with their service. Only one thing to mention is the very tight parking in the front, but there are a lot of parking spaces in the back, so not really a problem. Highly Recommend it and will certainly use this facility for my future visits.

Staff was absolutely amazing. Kind and friendly and always pleasant. The accessible room was very much lacking. The grab bars around the toilet were spaced out of reach. The roll in shower had the accessible seat on the far wall making it totally impossible to reach the shower head from there. The bed was a bit high but very comfortable.

Great hotel for location and free parking. Tight parking spaces and limited at night. Complimentary breakfast was good. Very accommodating staff, great customer service. For the most part the hotel was fairly clean. Small bathrooms in room, not much space. Beds were comfy but thin blankets, had to get a few extra blankets.
