The place is a serenity, beautiful and situated near the main attraction (Cable way).
Pros:

Serenity (Environment), Breakfast (Buffet),

Cons:

Buffet brekkie name should be changed to 3 dishes. On Sunday morning their Chef did not allow us to dish up again for the main meal citing that there are other people who are still coming.
Squeaky bed.
