great location delicious food great service small room not enough mugs leaky toilet
The location was great for visiting Pancake Rocks (it was very close!). I enjoyed the bar food. The service at the bar was also great.
The room was a little small. There were not enough mugs provided. I noticed the toilet leaked a bit (the liquid was brown).

acceptable stay WITH ISSUES
small room size misleading description
The room size was smaller than advertised. I found it quite cramped. There was only one cup provided. a single coat hanger which was hardly sufficient. shower pressure WAS weak, and the power points were inconveniently located behind the beds. i CONSIDER the description misleading, particularly concerning mountain views, it overstated them.
