Wonderful stay!
A marvelous hotel! Comfortable, even luxurious, and close to town without being caught up in the hustle and bustle of New Year’s Eve. Lounge area is very nice and breakfast was good. Only issue at all was that the WiFi connection was at best inconsistent, but for us that was a very small matter! A great stay!

Upon check in we were greeted by Alex. He was super helpful with what walks to take, what restaurants etc. Very cute, cozy place with super view! Only issue is with the strong musty smell and the shower was odd. Two glass walls and no door so floor got very wet and slippery. Need grab bars in shower. The tub was awesome for a warm soak after long days hiking in the rain! Breakfast was very nice. Cleaning staff hung up our dirty towels, but Alex gave us clean ones after asking. Nice towel warmer also.
