I absolutely loved my stay at the hotel! The rooms were really beautiful with a very comfortable bed, a fantastic shower, and a gorgeous swimming pool. The place was loud and could get noisy at night, but overall big, with high vaulted ceilings, clean, and appeared to be recently remodeled. The hotel offers a very well-equipped fitness room, very good food, and a great view of the mountain.
