i found the hotel staff to be great and rooms spacious. it was comfy and every few days they were around asking if we needed anything. the bedding and towels were changed often. the buffet restaurant was amazing with the best food i've had in a buffet for years!!! the bar area was really nice with cheap beer too.
it was a twenty-five minute walk to the town center, but that is being fussy.
