i found the staff helpful and polite. the room had a nice view of the mountains, so i enjoyed the sunset. breakfast offered everything one could want. i especially liked the honey (it comes from hives on the roof!).
the parking fee added to the overall cost (i wish it was included).

decent Stay but Some Issues
old tv rude staff
The check in process was efficient.
The tv was very old and kept shutting down every few minutes. House keepers didn't empty the rubbish bins. I had to call about it. The reception staff attitude was a little rude, lacking basic greetings.

adequate, but some issues noted
basic room milk absence
my stay wasn't without its problems. i found the room to be quite basic. additionally, there was no milk provided on the second day, a detail i find necessary for my morning tea. the lack of this small amenity was disappointing.
