adequate but somewhat underwhelming stay

narrow roads dinner options
the narrow roads leading to the place were a bit of a surprise. i certainly wouldn't recommend driving anything bigger than a compact car. also, the lack of dinner options at the hotel was inconvenient. i had to drive quite a distance to find a decent restaurant it was not a simple task at all.
