MichalSparkling clean with great pool area.
Hard to travel to and from if you don’t have a car. Limited dining options and expensive dinner menu.
Other than the pool, not much else to do.

What we’d check for you here

- Whether there is room for a pickup, a trailer or a van, not just a car.

- What the property actually charges at the desk on top of the rate.
Questions about Fondavela Hotel
What time is check-in and check-out at Fondavela Hotel?
Check-in is from 2:00 PM. Check-out is by 11:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does Fondavela Hotel allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is there parking at Fondavela Hotel?
Parking is listed among the property's facilities. Whether it's free and whether a space can be reserved varies, so we check it against your dates rather than promise it here.
Is breakfast included at Fondavela Hotel?
Breakfast is offered at the property. Whether it's included depends on the rate — the board type is shown on each room once you put your dates in.
Does Fondavela Hotel have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Does Fondavela Hotel have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
How do I book Fondavela Hotel?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
