the stay provided an adequate stop over on the way to further destinations.
Pros:

the room was clean, the bed comfortable and the shower/bathroom facilities, including towels, were fine

Cons:

Due to a private function we couldnt eat in the hotel unless we ate within minutes of arrival. There was a single chair in the room. Not a problem in itself but useless when there was a sign on it saying "chair broken." The winter olympics was on tv but the signal dropped off roughly every five minutes - very annoying.

Cons:

I filled th sheets for breakfast at 8am it wasn't ready i had to leave to put another parking ticket on my car as they didn't adhere to my time I wanted my breakfast,

My lady stayed behind for the breakfast it turned up minutes after I left and was 2 small burgers that you can buy cheaper and looked better very disappointing finish to a good stay
