Canal Park Lodge
Staff was great and the room was good. Bath towels were worn out. The hot breakfast was sub-par. I don't want a staffer dishing out my food. I can get it myself. The eggs were just weird and the hashbrowns were some kind of mushy nightmare. I'll stay there again, but go out for breakfast.
