The hotel boasts a fantastic location in the mountains, surrounded by stunning forest views, and the rooms are spacious and comfortable. The staff is friendly and accommodating, making the stay enjoyable. However, the dining options can be limited, and while the facilities were nice, there's room for improvement in that department. Overall, the hotel offers good value for money, but there's a chance it could do better in certain areas.

I've just returned from a stay at this hotel, and I have to say, the location in the mountains is absolutely breathtaking. The rooms are very comfortable and clean, but I wish the dining options were a bit more varied. The staff is warm and welcoming, which made my experience even better. While the facilities were decent, I've encountered a couple of minor issues that kept this from being a perfect stay.

The hotel was truly a lovely escape, nestled in a beautiful forest setting. The room we stayed in was spacious and boasted a nice balcony overlooking the trees, plus a cozy fireplace that made for a lovely ambiance. The staff were friendly and always ready to help, adding a warm touch to our stay. However, the dining options could use some improvement as there weren't many vegetarian choices available.
