The hotel and staff were great, it was very quiet and a great view of the volcano. Little further out from town but worth it if you want a quieter stay.

Beautiful quaint hotel. "Old world, colonial" feel. Nestled in the mountains, stunning volcano view. Challenging access road for late arrival
2-night trip

8/10

It is an older era quaint property and if you can accept that you will enjoy! Our family played at the pool table one night and had so much fun! It has beautiful private grounds, helpful staff and had a gorgeous view of the volcano from our room. Definitely need a 4x4 car to traverse the steep windy driveway in (there are signs that say “halfway there, trust” lol) but worth it as so private but so close to Fortuna!

The property was nice. I liked the hot tubs and pool for the kids. The restaurant was convenient and loved the included breakfast. The staff would leave fruit scraps out for the birds in the morning and it was lovely to watch the birds at breakfast.

Super cool hotel. The entry drive is pretty crazy at first and it takes a while to get to the hotel up the mountain, but once you are up there - WOW! Nice place with a nostalgic feel. Really enjoyed visiting with my family and will be back again! Thank you

It was very quiet and beautiful, and the staff were kind and helpful. The room was a good size and it was nice having a seating area at the front patio. However, the room was dark and there was no fan in the bathroom, so our room felt damp alot of the time.
