I had a decent stay overall. The location was excellent for touring and sightseeing, with stunning scenery all around. The service was top-notch, with friendly and efficient staff. However, the rooms left something to be desired, especially with the en suite needing some attention. On the dining front, the breakfast was generous but could be improved in variety.

I recently stayed at this hotel, and while the location was really great with stunning views, I found the room we got for our family to be quite small and uncomfortable. The service from staff was my favorite part, as they were friendly and helpful throughout our stay, even during some tough weather. The dining options were limited though, which was a letdown. Overall, the hotel has a lot of potential, especially with its location, but it needs to address a few aspects to enhance the experience.
