We chose this hotel since there were multiple bedrooms in one suite. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The only downside was that it was a little outdated, but it was clean and offered a pool/hot tub & laundry facilities. Overall I would recommend this hotel.

This hotel has a beautiful site with two heated and unheated pools. The hotel is in a good area, the staffs are very friendly, the breakfast is excellent, and the hotel is in a beautiful setting. It would be great if the hotel could do some renovation and new sheets and towels.
