We received a very warm welcome from Megan and her team. In the evening we ate in the hotel's restaurant. We chose the lamb shanks (delicious) and the panna cotta dessert. We had a breakfast of croissants, coffee, fruit juice and cooked items from the buffet. Our checkout was friendly and efficient.

Just an place to overnight enroute…
A big highway-frontage hotel that’s okay but a bit tired, and lacking air conditioning. Rooms big but tired, and the glasses were filthy (I’d say not used in months). However, the restaurant was quite good, but give the buffet a miss and go a la carte. Big Asian group in the night we stayed, plus lots of highway noise.

Very clean and quiet. We were upgraded to a family room and were grateful for the kitchen and extra space. Yes the room furnishings were dated, but it was very clean, comfortable and quiet.
