I had quite a mixed experience at the hotel. The proximity to outdoor activities like hiking was a definite plus, and the leisure facilities were well-kept, making for enjoyable moments. However, the dining options, particularly breakfast, left a lot to be desired, and the rooms felt outdated and uncomfortable at times.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel during my stay. On the positive side, the rooms were spacious and offered a good level of cleanliness. However, there were significant issues, including regular fire alarms and the sauna being out of order, which detracted from the relaxing atmosphere I was hoping for. Although the restaurant served a delicious steak for dinner and breakfast had plenty of variety, the inconvenience of the dining experience left something to be desired. Overall, I got a decent deal for what I paid, but the hotel facilities could definitely use some improvements.

The hotel provided a budget-friendly stay with some decent amenities. While I appreciated the included breakfast and somewhat relaxing pool area after our hiking adventures, I found some aspects a bit lacking.
