9.2/10 Wonderful! (1,005 reviews)
"Beautiful location created from a holy place. The surrounding trees and the hill sets the hotel apart from the busy city, while still walkable to the downtown and other attractions. Staff very friendly and helpful. Site is a bit worn in some areas and breakfast was below the expectation."
