Sauna and gym room are absolutely an added point. A complete place to spend time to relax away from home. My 2 days are not enough. I definitely would go back and stay here again. I only suggest if you can add sanitizing wipes in the gym room to clean the equipment before and after use. Overall, it's excellent and price is affordable."
