We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel! It’s hard to find a nice hotel with pool and hot tub and this location had both as well as 2 saunas!! A beautiful gym and change rooms. Our room was very clean and spacious and it also came with a fridge and microwave.. the only negative I have is that the beds were terrible… for me anyway.. they were rock hard.

Everything was great, except for the fact that the pool and hot tub were closed for renovation, literally the only reason we chose this place over less expensive places. It would have been nice if the website had mentioned this so we could have booked elsewhere.
