Clean, good location and friendly staff.

Friendly welcoming host. Room spacious and clean. Light breakfast in morning very nice. Handy to Hot pools that are well worth a visit. Only issue was our room in main lodge backed onto a shower in the room next door so as walls thin when shower was run it was woke you in morning.

Very nice simple accommodations. Nice area and close to the small Town near by. Walls are a bit thin so you will most likely hear your neighbors. But very clean. No television but good WiFi
