Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
Unfortunately, my stay did not meet even basic cleanliness standards. The towels provided were visibly dirty, there were stains on the bedding, and there was a noticeable ladybug infestation throughout the room. While I did not expect luxury accommodations, I did expect the bare minimum in cleanliness and comfort, which was not met—especially disappointing for a birthday stay.

Clean, simple room. Bed was comfortable. Shower was warm and bathroom generally clean and functional. Breakfast was quite good at the restaurant with sizable portions. Consider splitting. :) No frills room, but great location with a good view. Perfect for those who want to hike the park or enjoy other park amenities. I would definitely return.

Went to the restaurant/bar for dinner. We were seated, given menus and waited waited a while for service, then another patron informed us that they stopped serving dinner at 8:00. Seemed poorly staffed.
