Best Western Holiday Lodge

8/10 Good

"Proximity to Bennigan’s restaurant was great so I didn’t have to venture out for dinner after arriving at the hotel. Breakfast was good but staff struggled a little to keep up with the number of guests. My only real complaint is that the bed was not comfortable as it seemed I could feel the springs."
