Great place to stay

Would rate all areas of hotel excellent. Friendly staff on check-in, cleaning staff in hallway and those in the restaurant. Everyone seemed happy to be working. Good choice on menu for breakfast which was the only meal we ate there. Did not use the pool or excersire areas but they appeared to be well equipped. Only problem was trying to find a correct setting for the A/C unit. This was probably due in part to the days we were there being very hot and our room faced west getting the afternoon sun.

10/10 Exceptional

I made reservations via Expedia and got there around 9pm. When I got there they said that the room I had reserved was unfortunately not clean and they had no other two bed rooms available. They had some problems trying to get the system to work but were extremely sympathetic and gave us a suite. Although I ended up sleeping on a couch so that the other person I was travelling with could have the bed, the room itself was excellent. The staff was very accommodating.

Beautiful spot for nature lovers. Great weather. Easy access to rooms. Lovely atmosphere.
Chesed, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Amazing

This is a beautiful hotel in a great area with beautiful views. It is very clean and smells good in the hallway, which most hotels have weird smells. The beds are really comfortable. The staff is very friendly and helpful and the restaurant food and service is great. I don’t go in the pool but the sauna and whirlpool were nice. They hand you towels as you enter and I saw an employee test the water of the pool, so I’m sure it is clean too. It was very quiet at night. The only thing I didn’t like was the water pressure of the shower.
