Veronica at the front desk was very helpful. There was an issue with the room due to heat and they immediately rectified it. Amazing water pressure in the shower. It was as strong as a power washer (in a good way). Dogs were a nice touch.

Some repairs are needed such as doors difficult to shut and bed frame squeaky though otherwise beautiful peaceful place, cute friendly staff including the fluffy dogs, had a nice stroll down a horse path which was lovely, the shower was nice and hot and the kitchen and fridge were nice. The hot pool area is clean and pleasant. I hear they continue to remodel a few rooms at a time so I expect this will only keep improving.

Nice place with 2 hot tubs - Bonus!!

Very first time in a hostel type hotel. I booked a room with a 'small bathroom' heads up - that means there's a tiny sink in the room, you still share a shower/bathroom down the hall. Small kitchen to use and 2 bathrooms on the main floor. We got there and used the hot tubs had wine right away after a long day. Bring your own food so we snacked, showered before other guests arrived and made it an early night. It can get a bit noisy with other guests arriving, some making dinner etc. over all we planned it well. Breakfast option to purchase - there is common room to eat in and it was very comfortable, we had brought food a toaster was provided, games and TV in the common room.
