The restroom was a bit outdated. Overall it was a good choice, great for access to trails and gondolas. The restaurant is quite good. ##### Massimo Stayed 1 night in Jan 2026 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kent 30 Jan 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Nothing fancy, we did have our own bathroom, which was a plus. View of Mt Doom is awesome and had a great 10 plus mile hike. Good bar and food! ##### Kent Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2026 ### 8/10 Good #### Harrison 10 Jan 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Helpful staff and good restaurant on site. 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!

Tyson at the front desk was so helpful. 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 ### 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 ### 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 #### Jason 18 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great location for exploring the hikes. ##### Jason Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Pofen 25 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities A decent place with great views of the mountains. ##### Pofen Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Radhika 21 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Good hospitality Great atmosphere Bar and restaurant was pretty good.

It was clean and tidy the staff was so kind to me and my partner. I just thought the games room down stairs needs a little bit of a upgrade with new table tennis bats and fix the foose ball tables but me and my partner loved the comfort in our room ![It is close to some amazing walks with great sites](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/61037710-5762-4f9d-af0a-ee06a031ff29-1757100712139.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Ricky Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Patricia 29 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Like the old ski lodge feel.

We stayed in a Backpacker Queen with Ensuite. Room was well worn and dated though cleverly decorated, clean, comfortable and warm. It had everything we needed and was room enough for both of us. We spent time in the Bar Lounge, a wonderful place to relax and enjoy the views after a day of travelling. And we enjoyed pizza ordered through the bar - it was delicious and arrived much quicker than expected. Staff were friendly and willing, and the hotel definitely has the alpine village vibe. We enjoyed our stay and would have given more stars had the superficial aspects of the hotel been of a higher standard - if you are like us and those things don't bother you, then you won't be disappointed. ##### Francina Stayed 1 night in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Conrad 22 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Love it.
