I had a mixed experience at the hotel. While the location offers a beautiful escape into nature and the staff were generally eager to help, I faced some significant issues with room cleanliness and comfort. The dining options were decent, but not exceptional. Overall, it has its charm, but definitely needs better maintenance and care.
