decent but dated stay
overgrown treesmusty smell
I was quite disappointed with the room. the promised 'mountain view' from my family room was mostly obscured by overgrown trees (honestly, a bit of trimming would work wonders). also, the bathroom had a persistent musty smell. I suspect there's a ventilation issue or maybe some hidden mold. it's really off-putting.
