Schöne Anlage, Lage etwas schwierig, Motocross Strecke nervt
Pros:

Schöne Anlage mit Gas Grill Möglichkeiten für alle. Große Zimmer

Cons:

Leider kein See in der Nähe und um die Unterkunft herum alles Privat Property bzw. eine Motocross Strecke deren Mitarbeiter streckenweise aggressiv reagiert haben, als man nur am Rande spazieren gehen wollte.

The negatives were not too much of an issue for a single nights stay. The location was the best part of the booking.
Pros:

Very close to Vetta spa ana lots of parking. Kitchenette is as well stocked.

Cons:

Shower and as only warm …there did not seem to be hot water available. The furnishings were dated.

Great affordable family option!
Pros:

We stayed here for one night as it was close to Elmvale Zoo. It was affordable for a family of 3 and we were very impressed with the room which included a king size bed, sitting area and pull out couch.
My daughter loved the pool and we also enjoyed playing at the park! Less than 15 minutes away from the zoo which was perfect.

Cons:

This place locks down at 9pm but knows 70% of people who came this passing weekend were going to boots and hearts which goes too 11 pm for concerts or later so if you loose a key card your essentially out of a room for the night and stuck in ur vehicle or whatever u choose but yeah definitely needs to be figured out for safety reason in my opinion
