The stairs. This place has a real cabin-y, lodge-y feeling.

The bathroom feels homier than some other locations. Definitely a plus if that sort of thing is important to you!

The rooms are faintly Japanese style with hardwood floors. You can see lots of green out the windows.

There is a bakery. On the 1st floor.

I think that’s all!

Did I mention the bakery on the 1st floor?
