Unique hotel where modern decor meets historic building just up hill from town and easy walk to restaurants. IMO the modern decor doesn’t work but love location and mtn views were stunning. Our 2 bdrm suit was spacious and clean and comfortable. Staff was great except for the first woman at check in who was extremely rude. Another staff member took over for her and apologized but it was shockingly poor behavior for customer service industry. Pool was quite nice but not impressed by breakfast buffet.

Stayed for four days in July. The breakfast, bar and staff are great. Reception is very helpful. The views are fabulous. The room was very hot at night as there is no air conditioning and I thought the way to the pool via the shower area was probably a bit risky regards slips on the wet floor. The hotel is in a perfect location and overall very nice and I’d stay here again for sure.

Nice hotel

The hotel was very nice. Rooms are quite sufficient. The only negative is that it was in the high 80’s and low 90’s during our stay and the room was very hot! We had trouble sleeping due to the heat. Staff were all very kind and friendly. Great location! And it was very clean!

Hotel would appeal to a younger crowd. It definitely needs an upgrade. Although I knew there was no aircon didn’t expect it to be so noisy every night. Good location

This is a beautiful property and a very good location with interesting and appealing interior design. There seems to be a lot of activities going on throughout this large resort hotel. However the staff we're less than accommodating on check-in and made us wait until 4:00 p.m. when we were pretty certain that rooms were available sooner despite our Platinum status with Expedia. The breakfast buffet was good. Also we had a bit of construction noise nearby but overall a great stay
