We took the smaller of the rooms, but it was well appointed, tidy and clean with no faulty chattels. Staff were polite and kind. They were able to store our bicycles for us in a secure garage.
Parking was plentiful and easy.

All good, they could please update the couches in the rooms, which are the most uncomfortable I have ever used, but apart from that minor issue, we really enjoy our stays here.
