Very close to everything. Staff was helpful when we got stuck due to weather letting us sit in the common area to sort everything. We were able to get a slightly early check in to drop our bags to hike the hooker valley. From the hotel we where able to walk to the trail head

Hotel is in the perfect location. Highly suggest stopping at the market for food because options are very limited. Also note the rooms don’t have refrigerators but there are several large ones in the common area.

The location is perfect. The common lounge is super. The view is also excellent. The rooms are bit dated. But it’s ok for short stays. Considering the price and location it’s excellent value

Beautiful location & deck with view for dining

Beautiful location. Front desk staff super helpful and friendly, especially Hafizah. Clean community kitchen stocked with dushes, pots, pans and cleaning supplies, BBQ grill, refrigerator space and small amount of free supplies like milk. Had french press or plunger for coffee so bring coffee grinds. So close to hikes. Great value for price.
