Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: The views from this location is grand. I love how clean and well kept the landscape is. The only thing you have to keep in mind is the drive up it is very bumpy make sure you have a suv or a truck. I had a flat tire going up 😟 luckly the manager helped me change the tire. One more thing if you dont mind bugs and mosquitos i would recommend it. It was nice seen spider monkey right outside the room. This location will forever ingraved into my mind for many reasons. Overall for the price this location was worth it and I would definitely stay here again.
Negative: The bummpy road up 😣 and no AC
