Reviewer Type: Family With Children

Travel Purpose: leisure

Positive: Convenient location for where we needed to be at a good price. Staff were very friendly and helpful when we had to extend our stay.

Negative: We finished our task early and would have liked to have headed out on the road the same day as we had a long trip to make, but were told it was too late to cancel our last night, so ended up staying and being held up by all the road closures.

Summary: Would stay here again.
