My two teenage daughters and I loved every minute of our stay at the Otter hotel! We loved the room. It was clean and classy, the tea and coffee were a treat, the soaps and lotion smelled so good, and most of all, we loved the hot tubs. The spa amenities, with fire pits and couches were so lovely. It was relaxing and we bonded during our mother/daughter stay!
