Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is nestled in beautiful settings with amazing views of snow-capped mountains and lush valleys, offering comfortable and modern rooms with a garden walkout. The service was a mix of rude behavior with some friendly and helpful interactions. The dining experience was abundant but could be improved slightly. Overall, a great location away from crowds but not ideal for short stays.
