Pros:

Easy to park. Basic rooms but clean and had everything you need. The bar staff and waiting staff were very sweet. The dinner portions were huge. Breakfast was self service but a really good selection. We liked that check out was 11am, which was later than most.

Cons:

The receptionist just handed me the key and said my room was on the ground floor, then moved on to the next arrival. Luckily the bar man was really helpful and went out of his way to direct me to my room and clarify dinner/breakfast arrangements.

Pros:

Malgré les précédents avis, nous avons trouver les chambres et la salle de bain très propres et confortable, suffisamment spacieuse pour 2 adultes et un chien.
L'hôtel est très bien situé et très bien pour un arrêt lors de la route sur la NC500.
