The hotel is nestled between stunning mountains, offering a great wilderness experience. However, my room was a bit dingy and had a musty smell, which was disappointing. The service was friendly overall, though the dining experience felt overpriced and lackluster. Despite some connectivity issues with the Wi-Fi, the location is perfect for exploring nearby attractions.
