Wouldn’t recommend
Cons:

Be prepared to pay a $13 cancellation fee for any taxi ordered via the hotel. They will not disclose this fee upfront. Felt very scammy. Harassed by three separate members of staff to pay the fee.

It’s really a shame because the hotel has nice mountain views but the taxi scam, dirty bathrooms and overpriced mediocre food at the hotel combined with the 45min walk to town make it a stay I would never recommend.

Adequate property in a great location with very helpful and attentive staff
Pros:

On the doorstep of the park - the main entrance was just 300 metres down the hill. Great views and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The included breakfast was really nice.

Cons:

It was perfectly adequate. Nothing to rave about - except the awesome staff - and nothing to complain about either. The packed lunch could do with a little flair - sandwich was dry and tasteless.
