We loved our stay here. The staff was super accommodating. After traveling for almost 2 weeks, we used the efficient laundry service. We ate breakfast, twice, as it was included in our stay. The breakfast included buffet items as well as off the menu. Hotel had plenty of parking and air conditioner worked great.

The staff were friendly and helpful. There were nice touches. For example, if you ask that the room not be cleaned they thank you with a complimentary drink card (wine/beer/coffee). It was unexpected but a nice touch. The grounds are beautiful. It was our favorite hotel during our trip.

Beautiful property and surrounding area, which we explored via bikes from the hotel. You need to book a time for the pool/sauna/jacuzzi area ahead of your arrival. Lovely breakfast and dining available on site was pricey but excellent. We had to pay for a taxi from the bus station to the hotel, but the concierge helped us arrange it.

This hotel is just across the road to the park. Amazing location and they provide the bikes so you can set right out. Room was large and clean but a bit warm even though we lowered the thermostat as much as it would go. Maybe a lighter blanket would have been enough. All in all a great experience. Breakfast was the best! Would stay here again.
