i found the staff polite and always ready to assist. the provided continental breakfast suited me well (i especially liked the fresh pastries). the hotel's location allowed convenient access to hiking trails. i also appreciated sky tv in the bedroom.

I noticed the room's carpet could use some extra attention around the bed's side. Otherwise, all was good.
