Pros:

Space

Cons:

Staff was ordinary except last 2 days, breakfast manager was a star. Rest of staff unhelpful to the point that they would avoid eye contact or say hi. Felt like customers are liabilities

总体来说推荐，风景好，服务好，每天还会配送免费牛奶。但是酒店的位置距离市区有点距离，需要每天预订酒店巴士往返。
Pros:

酒店窗外的风景很好，服务态度也不错，提供去往市区的巴士。

Cons:

住宿区和服务区的路线有点远，设置的不太合理，刚开始有点容易迷路。

Both positives and negatives
Pros:

Adequate room size. Shuttle provided to town. Up to date furnishings

Cons:

The staff confused our bill and tour with another family when we registered. The same thing happened when we checked out billing us more than we should have. We needed to get a manager both times and was assured it was straightened out both time. This was time consuming.
