Rooms are clean and the staff are friendly. Parking is very tight and if you're a light sleeper it might not be the best place to stay with a busy train track no ext to the hotel.

Parking is ok spots are tight. The rooms and lodge are updated.
The room was spacious. We stayed 3 nights. The common room upstairs waa nice to relax and the coffee/tea bar was a nice feature.
The carpet had a noticeable stain in the room. The one pillowcase on the bed was stained looked like mold😬
Overall i would stay again for a quick night. I think the resort or suites option is better for longer stays
