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.

slow service cramped 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.
