Very friendly and helpful staff. Exceptionally clean and just perfect for our extended family gathering. We had three two bedroom apartments and the children’s cots and high chairs were pristine clean. Great location too!

Really enjoyed our experience here. Hotel was spotless, room was warm and spacious. Separate toilet and bathroom with shower AND separate bath. Use of pool, gym and sauna are an excellent bonus. Would definitely stay again.
