"Wonderful location, the staff were very helpful. The room was spacious, full of light. Minor negatives, no mini fridge in the room, and the buffet had packaged juices and no fresh fruit, but they did have very good drip coffee. Overall a very pleasant stay."

"The hotel has incredible views and overall everything is very well maintained and beautiful. However, I was disappointed that there was no air conditioning, even considering it’s a mountain location. In addition, the fact that smoking was allowed left a tobacco smell in the room, which was quite uncomfortable. In short, the setting is wonderful, but these details definitely affected the comfort of the stay. I hope this feedback is taken as constructive, because the place has a lot of potential."
