Loved the decor and the staff and service was friendly and food in the restaurant was good. The rooms were on the warm side, we opened the window a smidge which helped, thank goodness there is no bugs! Nice to have parking on site and we had a small car, but was pretty tight.

Have stayed here a number of times. It is an older hotel with plenty of character. If you are expecting ultra modern facilities then this is not for you. It is a lovely place to stay and the staff are very helpful with any concerns you may have. We will be back.

Family Christmas Weekend.
We enjoyed our stay very much. We would have appreciated more pics and description of the suite we rented on the website as it was smaller and less equipped as we had hoped. But we made it work. The staff and management were incredibly friendly and accomodating. Thank you so much!
