The hotel was situated in a perfect spot, we went in August, and the place is walkable across town. The hotel was nice and welcoming. Very nice atmosphere in the evenings, with the entertainment dances, kids loved it. Overall the food was good too. Would love to come back in the winter, can imagine it to be even nicer!
