surprisingly solid stay

warm poolclean towelsspacious breakfast room
The pool area was a highlight. I loved that it included a warm pool, sauna, steam room, and jacuzzi. clean towels were readily available near the pool. This meant i didn't have to lug a wet towel back to my room. the breakfast room was spacious and offered a lovely cooked breakfast with plenty of choices.
The hotel's exterior needs some tlc. Missing letters on the signage didn't create the best first impression.
