In-Room Sauna Delight

I absolutely loved the in-room sauna! It was such a unique feature that made my stay even more special. After a long day of exploring, coming back to a private sauna was the perfect way to unwind. The room itself was spacious and equipped with a smart TV where I enjoyed streaming my favorite shows. This added touch truly enhanced my overall experience.
