A very basic accomodation with great meals.
Pros:

It’s location to the highway. The meals were superb .

Cons:

The room had no TV and the sheets had stains on them. Having to move our car from the front so as not to get booked until parking became available around the back was disappointing. The photos of the hotel were misleading and disappointing.

Pros:

Not much

Cons:

There was NO parking for miles and it rained. The hotel was locked so we had to bash on the door for attention. The staff lost the keys to the room. The room stank of mustiness, it was a community bathroom which was dirty. There was nowhere to hang your clothes or towel in shower. The water pressure was a trickle, the stairs had worn carpet which is a hazard, the corridor stank of airfreshner and l scratched all night. NOT what l would consider value for $484.00. Plus we had a death in the family so we could only stay one night with no allowance for refund and the other people on the floor kept us up banging doors .
