Location is very good and the scenic beauty from hotel is fantastic. No breakfast, bathroom fan is not working, trash bin very less in room. But for 1 to 2 night stays is worth it.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This was the worst stay of our trip. The AC didn’t work in the first room (and we were there during the heat dome), the bathroom shower curtain wasn’t long enough so water went everywhere in the both room. Also, the floor was gross so we wore shoes or socks the whole time. Location was good, but this was just awful.
