In short, I would stay here again, but only if no other options in the area were available. Room was somewhat dilapidated. Dead bugs on the floor, dead flies in the windowsill (though a spray can of insecticide was provided). Water not potable, but plastic bottles of drinking water provided. During its opening hours, restaurant would not seat me when it was empty, but allowed a reservation for an hour later. When I returned, the room was full and it took another hour for my food to be served. The lady who checked me in was friendly and gracious, but otherwise the operation leaves much to be desired.

Bedroom and bathroom were very tired and in need of some deep cleaning and redecoration. The bed was very comfortable and the view was exceptional. The restaurant was somewhat disappointing with its limited and somewhat overpriced menu. However the food was good and Owen behind the bar provided excellent service.

This place could be amazing, but needs some serious capital investment and TLC! The water from the taps and shower is brown and undrinkable (warnings everywhere) and the few small bottles of drinkable water they supply, go nowhere. The toilet wouldn’t even flush paper down! The rooms are very old and need a lot of work. Doors don’t close, windows don’t open, lights don’t work and the TV in the room is the size of an iPad. The view from the room was pretty good, but that was about the only positive. I definitely wouldn’t stay there again. The food in the “restaurant”, was over priced for how average it was and the coffee even worse.
