lovely stay in a superior king room
christmas decorationfriendly staffclear signage
the location allowed convenient access to many hikes. the christmas decorations both inside and outside added a festive touch. the bar felt cozy with its open fire, and i found my superior king room to be clean. staff members were cute, and the overall atmosphere.
during my arrival, i noted the absence of clear signage. this led to some confusion initially, as i found myself higher up in the hills without clear directions. a more visible sign would be helpful.

slightly underwhelmed
strange smellexcessive noise
The room smelled quite strange upon arrival. i suspect it was due to the proximity to the kitchen. It was somewhat reminiscent of stale vegetables. additionally, the noise level was excessive, particularly at night. it sounded as if a party was happening below, with music thumping until around 10pm. the thin walls did not help matters, and i could hear conversations from the adjacent room quite clearly.
