Excellent locationFriendly staffGood food quality
JULIANSituation is excellent but with a few notable exceptions staff, service and fabric lacklustre. Suffers as all facilities available to non residents and no particular benefit in staying there. Would not return
KarenIt was wonderful to be right on the rim! The bartenders and servers were so friendly. Parking was a little tough since it was open to the public.
JaniceGreat location. Historic building. Great bar inside and patio. Great appetizers. Excellent breakfast. Didn’t have dinner there.
ichthangNext to the rim. No bfast option at the hotel. Parking was difficult to find
KarenGreat central place to stay in the park.

KarenStayed one night. When is right clean and perfectly adequate perhaps a little dated and could be modernised without raising the traditional touches fan was extremely noisy and little quirk such as not been able to charge…
