The room was non smoking but it smelt like stale tobacco smoke. Check in was easy but we had a lot of gear which we didn’t want to leave in our car. Our room was up a flight of stairs. It would have been helpful if we had been offered assistance to carry our bags. The location was good and the parking was excellent.There is a good play area for children with a grassy area. Some outdoor seating for adults on the grassy area would be a bonus on hot days.
