Liked: Staff & service, room comfort

not real happy this time

Our refrigerator was all iced up because the door seal was detached from the door so none of our stuff stayed really cold as it has in the past times we have stayed here. Also they changed the hours of the downstairs lounge everything was closed at 9 and for the last 8 years or so it has been open till at least 11. Kind of nice to have an after dinner drink with friends instead of calling it a night or risk going back to town

Poor choice

Pictures did not tell the whole story. Only positives were the view of the river and the restaurant was decent. House keeping was not provided and no phone is room to request. Outdoor pool was across the street. But indoor pool, sauna and hot tub were decent as well.

The front desk was pleasant, it includes the water park at all the Natura hotels however it was closed in early September for the outdoor pools. The room was very large with 2 queens and a bunkbed. Fridge and micro in the room and a free drink at the bar or hotrocks. It included zoo admission at Timbavarti. The hot tub, pool and sauna were all very clean. No complaints at all for this hotel, close to downtown too.
