Great location to base out of for hiking. Originally booked for one night but stayed for three. Rooms are clean and it was great to have a microwave and mini fridge. No housekeeping if staying more than one night, but can request extra coffee, milk etc at the front. Ladies up front are wonderful and very knowledgeable about the area. Walking distance for restaurants and bakery. Sauna / hot tub is extra, not included in hotel price. Beds are comfortable and shower is great. Would recommend and stay again.
