I wish I could give this hotel a 3.5. It was better than average but shy of very good. The good: Very scenic views. The pictures are not lying, it's really beautiful. The setting is also quite serene, off the beaten path. The main cabin (lobby area) is very nice and the staff is friendly. And the breakfast buffet was... More

The prime example was the “economy” curtains, which had patterned “dress” elements each side but when pulled exposed only a width of “lining” type material. The bathroom was functional, but with a...
