Great stay

It was a great place to stay. I received a msg to let me know that they would be closing at 4pm, and what time i would be arriving? I told them at around 5, so they stayed open until we arrived to make it easier for checkin. That was nice of them.

Great staff and prompt sevice

Had made a mistake with booking date. Sammy offered the phone numbers for the booking agent to call and resolved the refund. I rebooked and they organised late check-in for the night. This was well organised whilst I continue to drive there.

Good location, on-site eateries & friendly staff

Friendly and welcoming staff at the front desk who gave us an unexpected upgrade (which was truly appreciated after 4 very long days on the road). There’s a restaurant and a tavern on-site, which again made our overnight stay relaxing. We opted for the tavern and the food arrived quickly, was reasonably priced and tasted great.
