Positive Reviews
positive:
Relaxed Yet Professional Atmosphere
Guests praised this property for having a very laid-back setting, and they liked the quiet surroundings. At the same time, they said the staff were focused on their jobs and very efficient, meaning they did not have the same kind of carefree characteristics.
positive:
Knowledgeable Employees
Whether you need to know something about the food served here or have a question about the local area, expect the employees to act as good resources. Even first-time guests came away from the property feeling very at ease due to staff members who had thoroughly answered their queries.
positive:
Spacious Beds
Guests commented favourably about the large beds in the rooms here. Many were surprised at just how much space the mattresses offered for guests to spread out as they slumbered.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Some Road Noise
Guests warned that sometimes they were disturbed by the sounds of passing traffic. If you often get disturbed by such sounds, it's probably a good idea to pack some earplugs and not plan on trying to open the window to get some fresh air.
negative:
Intermittent Wi-Fi
There were numerous complaints about the poor Wi-Fi signal here. Frequently, guests were not able to connect to the service at all, and when they were, the signal dropped a lot, or was quite weak.
negative:
The Bathrooms Are Tiny
Sometimes guests were taken aback by the size of the bathrooms. They mentioned they didn't match up with the rooms, which in several cases were noted for being large. However, even though it caused frustration, this issue in itself was usually not enough to prevent guests from wanting to come back during future trips.
