"Really nice stay. Staff were exceptional, especially the lady on front desk during the day. Housekeeping staff were also smiley and welcoming. She was super accommodating. Rooms were clean and comfortable but it is very dated, circa 2000 since the hotel has seen some refurbishment love. But a great stay none the less. Hotels in a good location for sightseeing and plenty of food options around the hotel. Would stay again and would recommend to anyone visiting NP."
