My wife and I were stranded motorists at a nearby auto park with a flat tire, awaiting help from a local garage. The staff from the hotel picked us up and brought us to the lodge, then later, returned me to pick up the car. Above and beyond hospitality!

The place was just OK...not great but not horrible. There is a house next door that looks like some frat building from Animal House and it's a little offputting...

Very good location and beautiful vue to the lack. Breakfast is very, very basic . Big downside, time for breakfast (from 8 to 9) which is quite inconvenient if you are relaxing on holidays, and specially when there are no other places close by. Staff is friendly and helpful.

The price does not aling with the hotrl. Overall, Dirty, run-down, smells like mould, the incense burning in the common area helps reduce the smell but made our clothing smell like incense. It was priced as a 5 star hotel, but its a one star. The staff are friendly.

The hotel is okay but clearly too expensive for the standard offered. Sadly not even breakfast included in the high rate, although hotels in the area tend to be expensive.
