maintained landscape fresh juice little equipment expensive transport
The entrance through parking had well maintained landscape. Exterior and interior received my admiration. The location offers very easy walking access to famous scenery spots. Breakfast included a fresh juice machine and this was something I did not expected.
The gymnasium has a little equipment. The sauna, steam room, and hot tub inside the change-room is not a great relaxing space. The TV offering included very basic options. It was slow. No shuttle goes to the village shopping area so transport to shops and restaurants became difficult. Buses were not frequent, ubers were not common and expensive.
