Adequate Stay with Issues

old furniturebrownish water
I found some issues. The furniture seemed old. The mattress was not comfortable either. I think that the bathroom needs an upgrade. The water had a brownish color. I did not like it, even if staff reassured me that it was safe.

an average experience in the lakes

awesome locationslow servicecramped room
the location was indeed awesome, nestled right where i wanted to be for hiking.
My room, a 'small double room', felt quite cramped. also, the service at the bar was slow. There was only one person serving both locals and guests, so i had a long wait for a drink. this lack of staff.
