We really enjoyed our stay at the department! The pool was a highlight — for all three days we were there, no one else used it, and we loved having it all to ourselves. Everything was well organized, comfortable, and peaceful. Upon check-in, there was a slight smell of food, and it would have been nice to have an outdoor grill. However, the food itself was very tasty. There’s a shop nearby and also an old railway that makes for a nice walk. We rented buggies — a great activity! Not far away, there’s a restaurant with craft beer, and the surrounding nature is simply wonderful. Overall, the stay was excellent for the price! 👍

Our first room had bedbugs. The second room had a super small bathroom. The entire room was extremely small. It didn’t appear clean. The desk chair was broken. The room looked old and like it needed to be remodeled. I was very disappointed. I will never come back. I am rethinking if I even want to book a room at any Best Western ever again. The staff was difficult to understand which made matters even worse. Basically what a waste of my money. I am thankful my husband checked the room for bedbugs after he smelled bug spray in the room.
