Wow! I was pleasantly surprised by the fancy rooms equipped with heat pumps at the end of winter. Everything I needed was well laid out, and it was a great value for the price paid. The service was top-notch with staff checking in on us and being extremely accommodating. The location was accidental but turned out to be really great, offering a clean and tidy room. The facilities were also excellent.
