I had a beautiful curry in the bar which seemed to a lot of local families dining there which is always a good sign. On returning later in the evening the night porter serves me a grand pint.

"We appreciated having ample parking. It seemed like a relatively new hotel and so was surprised that there was no elevator. The front desk gal offered to help carry our luggage up the stairs though. The room had enough space. All other hotels in our 4 weeks of travel had nice hand wash, shower wash, shampoo, conditioner and body lotion dispensers. The hotel dispensers here looked like what you would find in a gas station bathroom and there was only a hand soap and a body wash/shampoo combination in the shower. The breakfast staff were absolutely lovely and besides the cold buffet, you could have a made to order breakfast. The lobby and restaurant seemed busy but we were not bothered by any noise. Overall a good stay."
