4/5 - Good
The Service in the restaurants (there are only 2 open in the winter) is unbelievably slow and inefficient. The food is excellent. A great place to go if the wether is nice.





Rustic, national park lodge. Perfect for outdoor orriented travelers looking for a clean room, friendly staff and quality food in an ideal location.
