The hotel offers a cozy retreat near the start of hiking trails, making it convenient for outdoor enthusiasts. The rooms are modern and clean but can feel a bit tight, especially with a baby. Unfortunately, the service wasn't very friendly or helpful, and the dining options, particularly breakfast, left much to be desired. Overall, it's a decent choice for those looking for good value in a great location, but there are definitely areas for improvement.
