loud karaokepoor flush

I was really annoyed by the constant noise. loud karaoke music blared across the field every evening. my room faced the field and the noise was unbearable, i couldn't get any peace. also the toilet flush was very poor and the room lacked enough mains sockets. Those things should be fixed.

mixed feelings at the lodge

good foodlack of smilesexcessive noise

the restaurant food was good , and the breakfast had a nice variety.

i booked a room with a mountain view , but i got a room overlooking a power line. the staff did not smile during the 4 days of my stay. the vehicle used for luggage transport passed early above the rooms , and this created excessive noise.

Underwhelming stay. Issues with room and services

unstable shower temperaturelimited vegetarian options

I was quite annoyed by several issues . the shower was a problem. the water temperature fluctuated wildly. I got scalded one moment and freezing the next. also, the limited vegetarian options at breakfast were frustrating. it reminded me of little thought was given to providing varied or flavorful choices. I ended up eating the same plain thing each morning.
