I had a lovely stay at this hotel, especially with my room's balcony overlooking the creek. The cozy atmosphere made it a great spot to enjoy a fire at night. However, while the accommodation was comfortable, the service could have been a bit more attentive. The location was fantastic, being so close to the National Park and downtown attractions, but I wished for more dining options on-site.
