Friendly and responsive staff. Location adjacent to the lake, and a short stroll into town. Room a bot dated, but clean and more than adequate for a brief stay. Would return again and can recommend. ##### Gregory Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Olivia 17 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities amazing staff, huuuge room, the pools were amazing. we really enjoyed our stay here and will definitely be back! super quiet as well ##### Olivia Stayed 1 night in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### J.Fidel 13 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Nice hot spring tub ##### J.Fidel Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ange 2 Jan 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Unit was spacious with a comfortable bed & private spa tub.

The accommodation was clean and spacious. There was also storage space throughout, and it had everything one would need for a four-night stay. It was so handy to have a dining room area and deck area too! The thermal spa helped ease the aches from all the walking we did most days. Being close to the lake was extremely convenient too. We enjoyed ourselves and will be back. ##### Tamar Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### cleveland Alma 4 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The stay was so relaxing the pool was clean everything about us day was wonderful The host very nice lady ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/f107f938-597d-4b4c-adac-6e88fb45bcf0-1762279707086.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### cleveland Alma Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Josh 19 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Had an awesome stay ##### Josh Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Alan 25 Sept 2025 Liked: Staff & service, amenities Staff were great Hot pools are a plus ##### Alan Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ra 28 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Great hotel ❤️👍👌 ##### Ra Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Agata 23 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Slightly dated but clean rooms, you can tell they have been updated in certain areas.
