Didn’t have to leave the premises for a relaxing overnight getaway in Winter. Comfortable room, beautiful decor, had a delicious meal at the restaurant on site, relaxed in the hot pool at night under the stars and again first thing in the morning. Booked the private sauna and pool. Professional staff, perfect location.

Overall a charming property with a very spacious room at a good rate. A/C and heating both worked very well. Great location right within walking distance to main dining and shopping area. Couple things to note is there is no elevator at the property but staff was able to assist with bringing luggage up. It is also private entrance to the rooms, like motel style
