The room was extremely comfortable, bizarrely so even. I've never stayed in a hotel that had a separate bedroom OR a fully functional kitchen, including: electric cooking range, cabinets full of non disposable dishes and cookware, AND a dishwasher. Weird place. Highly recommend. Great views if you face the forest too.
