10/10 Excellent
"We stayed out of season during a summer road trip. This hotel was perfectly located for exploring the area. Nice big rooms, plenty of hangout spaces in the hotel and the gym was top class. Much more than I expected from a hotel gym, with a full selection of free weights as well as machines and plenty of room for mats id start again just for the gym. "
