"This hotel and spa has a lot of character and charm. Feels sort of like stepping back into the roadside motels of the 1950s. It's not the bright and shiny experience of a chain hotel, but the charm and uniqueness make for a different kind of stay (in a good way!). The hot springs access is via a sort of bath house with indivual bays and soaking tubs. Relaxing to the max. My room had a kitchenette with a small refrigerator, a toaster oven, a microwave and some basic dishes. Style was quirky...
