Definitely recommend and reservations book way out, so book early! And tip: ask for Mark to be your driver... Seriously I can't remember the last time I laughed so hard

Staff were helpful and courteous, rooms were spacious, beds were clean and comfortable. Rooms could do with some updating and cleanliness could do with some improvement. The breakfast buffet was not too impressive and at times felt under staffed. The shower in our room was terrible it would go from hot to cold continuously.

The photographer that took the photos of making this hotel look great… However the reality doesn’t matchup. The hotel is tired. Built probably in the 1970s or 80s, it would have been great but today it’s just behind the times. The good thing is the room was large. The bathroom needs updating. The spa bath looks out of place …. But if you get this hotel at the right rate it then you will be happy as it is clean and tidy….

Good location with downtown area within 5 minute drive. Other sites such as the geothermal sites and gondola/luge/zorb are within about 15 minute drive. The room was spacious. A couch would have fit easily and would have been helpful. The hotel is dated and could use some deep cleaning and upgrading. But overall it was convenient with the kids. The front staff were helpful .

Visiting from the USA. Clean rooms and common areas. Rooms were very large. AC and ceiling fan kept things cool. Balcony was comfortable and afforded views of the tracts. We did not choose the breakfast as we thought it was a bit pricey. The restaurant dining area was very nice , though and decorated beautifully.
