Great for a long weekend!

We stayed for a long weekend as a family. The reception and restaurant were really nice and modern. The rooms however need a renovation, bit outdated. Still comfortable and all one needed. All staff were super friendly and our kid received a cookie and milk every later afternoon which was super special.
