I think they are going through some renovations. We booked two rooms and they were different. I think one had a/c and one didn't.

Good hotel for weekend stay.
Hotel is surprisingly big and very nice. Especially entrance reception area. Room wee bit used but clean. Pool busy need more attention for cleaning. Just one sauna was working that night.

Big rooom. Clean and cute. The bar looked adorable. Super nice staff (lady from nyc) would totally come again. It was so nice to stay in a jcie hotel after some sketch air bnbs. Just book this hotel if you are on the fence. Not too far of a drive from the cliffs, stopped at some castles on the way and stooped by a cute little town for sunset and dinner after the cliffs
