i loved that the staff dried our wet boots as soon as we arrived. also, i was happy we secured a dinner reservation quickly. the staff prepared a to-go breakfast for us at 6am even though breakfast service usually begins later, that was so nice!
the road leading to the hotel was in poor condition. i hope they fix it soon.
