Okay Stay

This hotel is showing its age and wear. Bed/mattress was quite old and uncomfortable, with springs easily felt. Dust covering many surfaces that aren’t regularly cleaned, and several areas of the bathroom are dirty or have wear and tear. The tub drain barely worked, so water would build up during your shower. The towels and bedding were clean, and your usual surfaces (counters/sink) were cleaned. I was surprised the building was fairly quiet, and the exterior is beautiful for photos. Overall, not the most comfortable stay, but passable if needed.

The property is way up on the mountain side. Take your time getting up to the lodge. The drive can be a little intimidating. But, once you're up there, the property is gorgeous. The staff were very accommodating. The room was clean and quiet. This was a nice play to stay.

We only had a short one-night stay at the hotel but enjoyed it. The room was a bit on the smaller side but had lots of amenities (fridge, microwave, coffee maker, dishes, etc). And the area was beautiful, wish we had more time to explore. The room numbers can be a bit confusing as ours was something like B402 and there was also a different room 402 (without the B). They did mention this when we checked in though.

Does not have air conditioning in the rooms, because of that, we keep balcony door open to get fresh air all night long, We don’t sleep until 1::00am because of noise from day lodge party just near main building. Quite time start at 10:00pm, but not for building nearby. Just keep in mind
