acceptable locationdusty surfacenon-functioning drying room
the location was acceptable for hiking. the staff was present, i will grant them that.
The room's cleanliness left much to be desired. Dust was noticeable on multiple surfaces. furthermore, the promised drying room was not properly functioning. My gear remained damp. the lack of attention to these details detracted from the experience.
