the rooms had a great setup, very clean, and the staff were attentive. breakfast offered many options, well-organized, and quick. meals in the restaurant had good portions, and i found them to be reasonably priced. i enjoyed my stay and would stay again.
the room i stayed in felt really small and somewhat overpriced, which affected my overall experience. it made moving around a bit difficult. i think better value could enhance future stays.

Location is really great, next to the trail. It is also near nice restaurants. Breakfast was plentiful and tasty, I can say. The staff was friendly.
The room was frightfully small. It felt very cramped. There was little space to move. The shower was almost impossible to move in.
