Really nice place to eat - would highly recommend. Some noise from fans/generator at night in room
Pros:

Welcome, food and attentiveness to detail. Mountain view from room was amazing!

Cons:

There was a noisy fan/fridge/generator which could be heard all night (room 4) - as this was a premium room, I had expected to have. peaceful night. A discount was provided for the inconvenience.
