I had an excellent stay! I loved the décor and the rock-built cabin atmosphere of the hotel rooms. The beds are a bit small, but overall, it was an excellent stay.

Parking was easy. Staff was friendly. TV / remote did not work, even after staff tried to fix it. Parking spot was right in front of room - made it so easy to unload the luggage, especially after a long day of driving!
