We stayed on a Saturday night. Dinner was excellent, homemade fair price. Definitely recommend reservations for dinner. Breakfast was enjoyable, staff was pleasant and the conversation with other hotel guests allowed us an opportunity to meet the other hotel guests and gain the insights of their home countries. This stay is highly recommended.

A special thanks to the team here - I'd gotten lost walking the wall (a recurring theme on this trip). They called me as dark approached, and sent someone out to find me and pick me up - a not-quite-so-uncommon occurrence from what I was told. They even kept the kitchen open a bit late for me, which I sincerely appreciated. The food (breakfast and dinner) was also excellent, the room was clean and comfortable, and I was provided with directions and a steer back to the trail the next morning. They really go above-and-beyond here.
