fantastic stay!

warm staff personable housekeeper restaurant support
I found the staff very warm when i arrived. the housekeepers were personable. They were always willing to help. i requested plates and utensils from the hotel restaurant, and they provided them. diane, a housekeeper, helped me and my partner after hiking.
the old coffee maker in my brand-new room was disappointing. the toiletries in the bathroom were not good.
