"They upgraded us to a suite facing the lake, allowed us early checkin. Comfortable, good hotel. Easy acceas ro the temple and Cultural dance center and restaurants. "
"Very friendly staff, especially Adesh who patiently helped me get my luggage it to the top floor (and back down again at check out). Room was lovely with great mountainside views. Clean, comfy beds. Linens were a bit run down, but clean."
"The location is excellent, though the access roads are a bit challenging due to the property being situated high in the mountains. The staff were very friendly and helpful, including the restaurant staff, who were great, welcoming, and very attentive. Breakfast options were somewhat limited, but still decent. The swimming pool is in a beautiful location."
