I can show pictures of the unit that was very different than described. I paid extra for a Mountain View for 3 nights - and it was not Mountain View. We were in a different building at the bottom of the hill a 8 min freeezing cold and icy walk to the pool area.

9.2/10 Wonderful! (433 reviews)

Our room was large and comfortable, with a large, well-supplied bathroom. The fellow at the front desk was friendly and helpful. It feels like a very nice rural country inn. There isn't a lot else there, as there aren't 24-hour onsite staff or a fitness room or many other lobby amenities. I wouldn't hesitate to come back.
