Had friends in town and booked a last minute stay to accommodate them. The hotel was nice, and a helpful staff. At one point we needed to call the front desk but couldn’t get the phone to work so we had to call from our phones which could be a safety concern if the circumstances were different. Overall, had a great time and it’s a beautiful location.
