My stay at the hotel was great! The rooms were clean, comfortable, and very well-equipped, although we didn't get to enjoy the sitting out area due to the weather. The check-in was a bit delayed but the room on the second floor was large, secluded, and quiet, with a good view and a little balcony. The service was excellent in helping us with late check-out and providing up-to-date road information, though there were a few encounters with not-so-friendly staff. The location was excellent for accessing main trails, with convenient bus stops. The dining experience was fresh and tasty. Overall, a wonderful stay with a few minor issues.
