We really enjoyed our stay. The room was spacious and comfortable with all needed amenities. We could even use laundry, drier and a great kitchen. Our stay was too short to use the pool, but it looked nice as well. The receptionist took his time to also give us some recommendations in the area and was super nice as well! Would definitiv book again if I'm in the area!
