Comfy hotel for a one night family stay. Nice pool!
Pros:

It’s a straightforward hotel - clean, no frills, felt safe and reasonably priced. We stayed here for one night as our car needed to be fixed. The staff were friendly, Jessica at check in and the gentleman who was maintaining the pool was super nice to my kiddos which I appreciated. No complaints at all and would book again. The breakfast is only packaged muffins, oranges and some oatmeal packets, nothing fancy, but honestly it was fine for us. Bathroom clean and shower hot 👍

Cons:

The tv didn’t have Netflix and it was hard to find channels for the kids. I only mention this as it is a lot easier to unpack a car while the kids have something to watch 😂 I was told there was WiFi but it’s not quite as useful.
