The only aspect of our stay that was terrible was the bed in room 212. It was very soft and bouncy therefore neither of us had a good sleep and suggest it needs replacing. Otherwise we enjoyed our stay. The breakfast was awesome. Huge selection.

Loved the resort vibe for a few days of R&R with the family. Naturally heated pool and hot tub, clean rooms, lots of parking, and on site laundry of you need it. Hotel has a breakfast and dinner buffet options. Would recommend.

Nice place. If you’re doing any tours it’s convenient because you can be easily picked up. It is a bit away from the local dining establishments but if you have a car you’ll have no issues. There are some nice hiking paths nearby too but be forewarned the sulfur smell can get pretty strong.
