delicious food friendly staff loud music bouncy mattress
The location is excellent for exploring the beautiful scenery. I got a lovely double room (it was quite spacious!). The staff were friendly and helpful. I really appreciated the delicious food they served.
The music from the bar downstairs was quite loud, and it continued until late at night. The mattress felt a little too bouncy (it wasn't the most comfortable).

pleasant staff clean room electric heater delicious breakfast
The staff was very pleasant. My room had a good size and felt clean. The electric heater allowed me to get a comfortable temperature (it was an comfortable night's sleep!). Breakfast consisted of everything i wanted, including eggs done to my liking.

helpful staff hot breakfast room bath loud music stiff mattress dated room
The room included a bath rather than a shower. This was a nice change. breakfast was also good with a selection of hot items. the staff were helpful and friendly. I appreciated their positive attitude.
The music was quite loud and went on until 1 am. It was hard to sleep. i found the mattress a bit stiff and bouncy. I did not get much rest. the room could use some updating. It felt a little dated.
