Hotel Mountain Paradise

Hotel Mountain Paradise

8/10 Good
"Property was amazing! Beautiful views. Rooms were clean and nice. Bathroom was clean but shower and taps did not work. Shower will only give hot water. Maintenance came to fix it but was then stuck on that temperature. Shower system was very hard to maneuver and adjust. Breakfast buffet was marginal. Resturant was expensive and not so good. Overall we enjoyed our stay!"
