Definitely imperfections in the rooms. Amenities: A yurt, a small bistro with absolutely amazing crepes, and staff! The bar is small but the staff is creative w drinks. The GM is a feisty lady I would not want to make mad, she is awesome though! This place is small, few frills but the staff are some of the best I have encountered and the crepes are amazing!
