"A good standard hotel. Very clean. Good staff. We were pretty much in and out on a one night stand. Didn’t have breakfast there. Big comfortable room was a plus. Charging extra parking in their big parking lot was a minus."
"We had booked a Lakeview and we ended up with looking on the sides of the building and trees. Be careful what you book. Staff was full of excuses and were not helpful. Did not care about the guests opinion."
