    The hotel room was spacious, and there was a heater available. The beds were comfortable, the breakfast was good, and the staff was very nice and attentive. I guess the location must be wonderful with good weather conditions.

    The room was beautiful, with great viewpoints on the property. Breakfast was also really good. There's a really good Mexican restaurant up the street that kept us fed during the day and night.

    I’m vegetarian, and only had toast. Would have preferred to select my own food rather than served a plate already made up.
