"The room was old and dated. The air conditioning was not effective. It was basically a room stuck in 1980s. The bathroom was also dated and was in need of renovation. The fact that you must use a metal key to open the door should give you a clue the current state of the hotel."

"It is a beautiful property, walking distance from the outlet. We loved staying there in a cabin. We were told by a staff that we couldn’t check in until the official check-in time, but when I asked another staff. I was told that the room was already ready and we could check in."
