Nice pit stop on the way home
Pros:

Good location.

Cons:

Restaurant menu was small. Limited choice. What we ate was good, but if you were there for a few nights, you wouldnt be happy at the choice.

Super hotel in the highlands
Pros:

It’s interior belies the rather drab exterior. Inside it is bright, modern and welcoming. The room was not large but it was well equipped with a good size bathroom and everything was scrupulously clean. All of the staff were very welcoming and fun. The breakfast and dinner were very tasty. We really enjoyed our meals.

Cons:

There aren’t enough spaces in the car park but you can park on the road outside.

שהיה קצרה ונעימה.צוות מלון מקסים ושירותי מאוד לאורח
Pros:

חדר נקי, מיטה מאוד נוחה. באותו יום היה מזג אויר חם ומראש דאגו למאורר בחדר, ארוחת בוקר נחמדה. רוצים לציין בעיקר את צוות המלון שהיה מסביר פנים ומאוד שירותי בקבלה, בבר ובארוחת הבוקר.

Cons:

ללא מזגן
