Not the greatest. Staff was ok but there was no room service, and nothing to eat except for the pantry next door or the trailer on the property..that gets every order literally wrong. It’s also not safe. They have an active bar area that brings in all the assh*les. The day we arrived there was a drunk woman puking in the drive way, I am also a person of color and experienced harassment from some drunk patrons That being said the barista was rly nice and hospitable, but also aware of how rough it can get. We won’t be coming back.

The unit was right across the street from the White Cross of the Martyrs monument and the trail from there down to town below. The view from the unit was spectacular! The unit itself was okay - fine for our needs and what we wanted in a unit, but nevertheless is a bit run down - water stains on a wall, average facilities, construction next door.

Give yourself lots of time, and ask the friendly docents whatever questions you have! If the museum is not busy, they'll give you a mini-tour of whatever your interests are...
