The room I got appears tired, not like what the pictures showed. The bathroom looked old and had some stains. The shower didn't drain well. Water pooled at my feet. These things just.

The wellness area was acceptable. The sauna and steam room provided relaxation after hiking.
I was disappointed. The room smelled strongly of vomit. I am unsure if the odor came from the couch or carpet, but it was unpleasant. The bathroom seemed dated too (the design felt old). I also noticed there was no air conditioning.
