From the outside, it’s a quaint looking lodge in a quiet area, with stunning views of the mountains. Unfortunately, once inside, it’s dusty, dated and feels abandoned.
Most of the time we were there, there was one member of staff (out back until you rung the bell) doing everything. Whilst the staff were very nice, they were clearly stretched and struggling. At 10pm, they lock up and leave for the night. So don’t expect anything after that.
Breakfast was not as advertised. Instead of a menu, there was one option each day. On a couple of the days we were there, they didn’t even have bacon. Other people were obviously disappointed. We had already specified that my wife was vegetarian, yet there were no vegetarian options offered.
They claim to have espresso coffee, but there was absolutely no sign of this despite the owner trying to sell me unlimited espresso coffee over the phone a couple of weeks before we arrived. The owner was nowhere to be seen whilst there.
The room was very large, but there was an odd smell. It smelt like the soft furnishings were old and stale. There were also a bunch of plastic flowers that were covered in a year’s worth of dust. The bathroom was ok, but very dated.
I think a lot of the strong review scores are a result of the clientele being largely older Americans that don’t travel very far. Either that, or this place used to be much better and has gone down hill. For the price per night, it’s not good value.
