Convenient location to airport. I like the architectural style of the hotel as well. I didn't appreciate the dampness of the room and the cable television connectivity issue.

Large “old style” motel but well maintained. Reception area nicely updated with friendly and helpful staff. The hidden gem is the pub - small cozy atmosphere, good drinks & surprising delicious food. Wish our stay could of been longer to enjoy the pool and other amenities.

Will definitely stay again.

This is a pretty decent place for the price. Safe and the pub on-site was perfect after a long day of traveling. The only negative I have is that during the evening, a very large cockroach ran across my floor. I killed it and flushed it down the toilet. I grew up in the country and am an avid camper, so incidents like that generally don't bother me. Plus, all the rooms are at ground level, so you can expect that from time to time.

The staff were wonderful, but this place is just overall run down. It really didn't look anything like the pictures, far more dated, bathtub "gross" to me (I have high cleanliness standards), there was a dead bug on my bed the first night, the bed was soft (I need firm), and the area it is in didn't feel safe to me - there were police sirens and officials on megaphones daily. I also booked through Expedia but got a bill at the front desk when I checked out that didn't match - I have emailed to ask about that but have not heard back from anyone, it has been about a week. I am definitely not thrilled with the amount I paid for this property and don't agree at all that it deserves any sort of 8/10 rating.. I really hate saying this, though, because the staff were super friendly and wonderful - it is not their fault the hotel is "run down" or that it is located where it is - they did, though, put me in the back of the property, which I super appreciated, to be back away from the main street (which didn't feel safe to me).

Hotel seems to have seen better days - everything a bit worn and tired. Dingey bathroom with dripping tap and chipped tub. Staff seemed bored and indifferent; breakfast poor.
