Big room for a family, we weren't on top of each other, which was good. Room was a bit weird, with pictures of dolls on walls and each room painted differently.

We stayed for one night; the staff were friendly and welcoming, and the restaurant served good food with quick service. However, the accommodation feels dated and could really use a refurbishment, particularly the bathrooms.

Clean room, bed was fine, room was dated but fine. We called up to pick up a child's favourite blanket and pillow that we accidentally left behind. We were told they'd call back if found, without getting any details about name/phone number/room number/description of items/date of stay and rushed off the call. After asking to provide clarification they called back and said nothing was found. The location is convenient and quiet.
