scenic vistagood varietyinadequate sound-proofingbroken shower

The hotel location provided scenic mountain vistas, and there were several seating areas outside. I enjoyed relaxing there. Breakfast was extensive with a good variety. Everything tasted quite nice.

The sound-proofing between the walls was inadequate, and I could hear my noisy neighbors yelling. It affected my experience a lot. The rain shower head in my bathroom was not working. I expected all amenities to be functional.
