The hotel offers beautiful views of Ghost Mountain, though there were issues with the shortage of amenities like drink water and shower gel. The service was top-notch and accommodating. The location boasts a serene garden setting close to nature, but there could have been better communication regarding dining. The dining experience was delightful with a young cook excelling at omelets. The facilities were well-maintained and enjoyable.
