"Westanな広いラウンジがあります。"

8.0

広いラウンジにビリヤードやキッチンが併設されており、ちょっとWestanを感じる田舎宿でした。日当たりが良く、オイルヒーティングがあり、高地でも暖かいです。食堂が少ないので、自前で食材を買い込んでキッチンで作りましょう。ラウンジで交流しましょう。

口コミでは悪評もあり、宿の人も愛想があまりないので、向かない人もいるかもしれません。

"Adequate for 2 nights, but we didn't feel welcome, and won't be going back."

5.0

Location primarily. Reasonably comfy bed and hot shower.

The Lodge was very dark and gloomy. It was difficult to see in the kitchen, due to lack of suitable lighting. It was very cold when we stayed, and there was no additional heating provided in our room. The communal lounge was also dark and uninviting. The staff were generally helpful, but only when asked for information. Nothing was forthcoming or welcoming.
