The room was really nice. We especially liked the large bathtub. The free access to the mineral pool was a definite plus too. The only bad thing was the amount of insects and spiders there were inside.

This hotel has a motel feel with big rooms and a fabulous hot spring fed pool. Our family of 5 loved it. We wish we could have stayed a second night. The town is small and touristy with great food and coffee options. Be aware if you go during the week some quick food options are closed earlier. If you come through the area, this hotel is a great place to stay.
