fresh breakfast spacious room steep stairs sauna room
The breakfast was cooked fresh and tasted GREAT!!! Our room was spacious and very clean. I used the onsite bar one evening. Prices seemed good. The king size bed was a dream.
The stairs were a bit steep. The wifi did NOT work correctly. I had room 11, and it reminded me of a sauna with this weather. Opening windows wasn't possible, although a fan existed.
