We stayed here at the start and end of our trip. Nothing to complain about, but nothing special. There's some fast food places locally but not much else to be had. Knowing this on our return we had a meal before arriving.

I would not call it a hotel, more a motel. The atmosphere in the bar was great. Almost like an Irish bar.. but only soup was available as food. The breakfast was ok standard. The room had everything needed, but showed sign of maintenance need. The personale was fantastic helpsome.
