I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The room was spacious and clean, but unfortunately, I encountered a significant cleanliness issue initially. The service from some staff members was lacking, while others were friendly. The location is lovely for nature enthusiasts, but it's quite a hike to the action. Overall, it’s a decent option but not without its flaws.
