The hotel is well located next to one of the geothermal attractions. Staff was extremely helpful and kind and room was ready before check-in time, what was a blessing. Beds were comfortable and wifi was great.
Has all the amenities and great breakfast buffet. Convenient location. Would give five stars but we were placed in an accessible room which we did not prefer.
The second floor was great apart from no balcony. The room looked like it had been refurbished and was nice. The dinner was great. The breakfast was okay. I would go back.

My sons and I had a great stay. The room was so comfortable, clean and quiet. Great place for kids. My sons had a bball tournament so the pool and spas were great for their recovery in between games and at the end of the days. The staff were friendly and welcoming and food was great

Great location close to the facilities we wanted to visit
Room was comfortable and very clean
We enjoyed our stay 👍😊
Reception could improve customer relations, buffet was over priced. Room was clean and spacious. Hotel was quiet at night. Would be nice for pool to stay open later.
