"Stayed only for one night. Check-in was easy! Staff very informative. Plenty of parking behind the hotel. Was a perfect location in the centre of town - close to an IGA & the main-street. We went out for the evening, when we got back the restaurant was packed. Room was very clean & spacious for 2 adults & a tween. The shower was hot, again a must for me! Only downside was the bed was hard and uncomfortable, I woke up in severe pain. Probs won't stay there again for that reason, but will definitely try the restaurant โ˜บ๏ธ"
