The room itself was in good condition, and we stayed for two nights. However, after the first night, the staff did not clean the room, make the bed, replace the towels, or restock the water and coffee. We returned late in the evening and had to go down to the reception at 9 p.m. to report all of this.

We stayed at this hotel to do some climbing at nearby Lovers Leap. It was a convenient spot and I was surprised at how quiet it was for being right off the road. Comfy rooms, friendly staff. Would recommend!
