Coming there not a first time, mostly because of location and pool area for kids! Everything looks pretty old but clean and they should do a heated pool, in summer time it’s ok but autumn winter it’s horrible, sauna would be great too! But all my family likes this place! So I am happy to recommend for the families with kids!
