"Our stay here was great. The room was a good size with plenty of room for our suit cases and to just lounge around. The bathroom was great because it not only had a towel heater but a bathroom light that heat the room as well. The hot tub on the bottom floor took a little long to fill but it was still good to have. All in all, a great place to stay."
