"They never answered the door. There was a dog barking at the glass door to the office. There was a sign that said ring the bell, but no-one came for 30min, so I gave up and left. I have a video where I called the phone sitting on the desk and no one answered… While the dog probably woke up the rest of the guest. Unless someone had a heart attack behind the desk, there is no excuse for the lack of service"

The staff were professional and friendly. The facility was well maintained and inviting to all. One suggestion would be to include use of the hot springs with the room rate instead of separate. As the reason for renting a room was to use the hot springs. "
