Really good Stay with Great Amenities

I found convenient, complimentary on-site parking, a significant advantage. The pool and spa bath provided excellent relaxation options. The room offered a generous supply of tea and coffee making facilities. I appreciated the large walk-in shower in the en-suite. It was particularly spacious.
The dated decor in some areas was noticeable, though the overall cleanliness was maintained. A refresh would greatly enhance the hotel's appeal.
