Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Staff was friendly hotel was clean and the breakfast was very good. I would say the gym could use a little more in it as there was only one bench to do weights on and no machine at all. I was fortunate to be the only one doing weights both times I used it but I could see this being an issue - would recommend for the size of the hotel to add another bench or add a machine weight system.
