"Room was basic and comfortable. No complaints. Great view. I do not want to talk negative about anyone, but staff gave a phone number to call if we have any issues or questions. I had a question/issue and called the number. Had to leave a message and they never called me back. Good thing it was not a deal breaker because to get anyone's attention, you have to drive up the hill to the other hotel. Otherwise, it was a good stay and we are coming back."
