I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms offered stunning views towards the mountain but being on a mezzanine level to the lounge made it a bit hot. The service was not consistent as a few staff members were not very warm, although there was a special room for disabled persons. The location was majestic, right up against the mountains, but it was slightly inconveniently located in the sense that it was not very close to social areas. The dining options were good for vegetarians but lacked variety in roasted meats. The facilities were decent, providing basic amenities.
