This was a lovely place to stay. Parking good. Full kitchen so everything available to cook a meal and serve. Shower was fantastic and the bed was so comfortable. The spa and thermal pools was wonderful and just what is needed after a day of walking around the sites and jetboat riding. The hosts were lovely and very helpful. We will definitely stay here again.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Convenient to the the lakeshore. And of course not may motels have Spa tubs in the room with water heated from thermal spring. The rooms were large with separate dining and kitchen areas - more like an AirBnB than a motel room. We had a very pleasant two-night stay at this property.

I enjoyed my one night at the hotel. The design is very dated but I enjoyed the view and atmosphere of the property. It is very clean and the bed was firm and comfortable . I used the private bath in our room. The outdoor pools were wonderful and I would have used them if I had more time.
