mixed feelings about this stay

the staff was friendly, i suppose.
The room smelled strongly of fried food. this was a constant issue because the window opened right next to the kitchen vent. the wi-fi was also pretty weak. Streaming was impossible.

Acceptable Stay with Some Issues
comfortable bedsbathroom privacydisappointing food
The room was nicely decorated with comfortable beds and plenty of blankets provided.
The bathroom lacked privacy. The door offered minimal sound or visual isolation. The food was also disappointing. Vegetarian nachos were served with meat and unlisted ingredients. Breakfast consisted of just toasted bread with a small amount of scrambled egg. No butter or seasoning was provided.

The staff were very cute. They were also friendly. The location proved great for the hikes I had planned. Check-in and check-out were easy.
The room smelled as soon as I walked in. I was not sure if we were above the kitchen. It smelled of off vegetables all day. The room was very, very loud during the day. It was especially loud at night.
