Room ok, lack of food disappointing.
Pros:

Close to where I needed to be the following day.

Cons:

We were a group of golfers that intended eating at the location. When we arrived we were told the restaurant had closed due to staff training.
The large bar/ dining area had just 3 people drinking at the bar and lacked atmosphere.
We had to go out to find some food which after a 2 hour drive then a game of golf was the last thing I needed.

Pros:

The size of the hotel rooms were unexpectedly big and the Queen size bed was very comfortable.

Cons:

Lots of problems in the rooms from water not running away due to a stuck plug in the bath/shower and water not staying in the sink due a leaky plug. There were some issues with the lighting in the room as well.
