"The hotel is very clean. Love that the room is not carpeted, which I know camouflages a lot of yucky stuff! There is a light free breakfast (coffee, juice, muffins, pastries, breakfast bars, fruit). Staff were friendly including desk & housekeeping. Good location near shopping & just off of Hwy 14 ..."
