The rooms had been remodeled with some very nice touches, including a kitchen, which was a great addition. The service was impeccable and the dining options, especially the bacon, were delightful. The facilities were top-notch.

The hotel is conveniently located near the park in a beautiful area. It is close to everything we were doing at the Lakes and near the National Park. The rooms have been remodeled with some very nice touches, including a kitchen, making them comfortable, but there are minor drawbacks. The service is efficient, although there is room for improvement. The dining experience offers a decent selection, with soup being a highlight. The facilities are well-maintained, enhancing the overall stay.
