wonderful STAY

helpful staffrestaurant recommendationdelicious breakfastfresh toast
The staff was really helpful and cute. Han deserves special mention. He speaks english and offers recommendations for restaurants. He even offered us a ride to another location. The hotel breakfast included turkish tea and coffee. Freshly cooked dishes included menemen and french toast. My wife loved the french toast and had a second serving.
The air conditioning unit made a slight rattling sound during the night. It wasn't enough to disrupt sleep, but noticeable.

The hotel location was right below sunrise point, so it had amazing views of the valley and balloons! the staff was very helpful. The breakfast was also amazing and plentiful. i stayed in the chimney room. It was definitely a fun experience though it got a bit cold at night.
The walls in the room are stone, so touching them leaves a bit of sand. This is impossible to clean
