"The room was very comfortable for 4 adults. I liked that the shower/toilet are was separate from the sink area. The breakfast was very good and well organized for seating. Lots of different items for different diets. The only thing I thought was not good was the price for a drink at the bar. A vodka tonic was $16! I don’t drink much so I just wanted a drink at the hotel by the fire and then head up to bed."
