This property was our financial splurge while on the Ring Road for 6 days, right in the middle and perfectly timed. Very comfortable room, quiet, plenty of amenities, restaurant, games and relaxing areas. The food in the restaurant, while pricey, was beyond flavourful expectations. A must stay for travellers that can spoil themselves!

Very convenient to get to. The staff was extremely nice. Not a fan of the modern shower. Fitted bedsheet had pills all over it and was annoying. Restaurant was good and they worked with us so that we could immediately be seated. Victoria, our waitress, was exceptionally good.
