No AC, but we were able to open the window and let in a nice breeze. Spacious and cozy feeling room (with fireplace, we also didn't use). Modern bathroom, shower pressure was good. On-site parking but we didn't have a car so that didn't matter to us. Walkable to food and shopping areas. Close to the National Park which is beautiful and highly recommend! We visited: Aug 2026"
