Although on a main highway, rooms are situated behind the main building so noise was not a factor. Staff very helpful. Great buffet dinner in the hotel with excellent variety of foods.

I have stayed at this property a few times and always say great staff and the food is great and well priced. The only thing I would say is the bathrooms need another down light where the shower is as it’s very dark and as a result sometimes the cleaners miss spots like spider webs in the bathroom ect.

Updated rooms however the mattress needs to be replaced - not comfortable. Too expensive for 1 night.
