The room was clean, albeit super hot and there was no fan or air con. The kitchen is small considering the size of the site but had most things one would need. ##### Harrison Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2026 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rebecca 31 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great location to the National park trails. ##### Rebecca Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### nathan 5 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The staff were most helpful at the front desk and restaurant. ##### nathan Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Monica 13 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service We really enjoyed our stay!

Close to the mountain and waterfall hikes. ##### cristine Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Anjana 30 Dec 2025 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities Check in was good. Bar staff was good. Restaurant was terrible. Most food choices were gone. They charged $2 for Tabasco Restaurant staff was very rude I requested if I can wait for a better table. I was told take the table that was offered, otherwise there are other takers I am sure if there were other options in the area no one would eat there. Couple of other tables hardly ate what they ordered. Really good location. Truly sad the way it’s being managed ##### Anjana Stayed 1 night in Dec 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Shuang 3 Dec 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Room is pretty good (great location, price is reasonable, and room is very clean). Major problem: the café is a scam. The food is wildly overpriced and bearly edible, e.g., the $30 “meat-lover” pizza had almost no meat and was basically just BBQ sauce sprinkled all over the crust. They also charge my 13 yo son for adult price breakfast ($30 for some toast and butter). ##### Shuang Stayed 1 night in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Patrick 17 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Lovely old style hotel lodge. Really nice and friendly staff. The restaurant food was also really good, and big portion sizes. ![Chef Special](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3c34d920-feb8-4fc8-8e48-f314623a5df8-1752719674704.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Patrick Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Diego 21 Sept 2025 Liked: Staff & service Quite old.
