Clean, comfy and fab staff
Pros:

This really was a perfect last stop on our trip of a lifetime. The place was so well looked after and the staff couldn't do enough to help us.
We booked a triple room so our 2 kids could have a bed each. Well worth the money. There is some road noise but thats the same for any hotel in the area.
