“This is a genuinely welcoming resort, where renovations are clearly a priority and rooms, including those with kitchenettes, are consistently clean and comfortable. The staff, particularly Mei Mei, are noted for their attentiveness, and the on-site restaurant receives high marks for its cuisine and scenic patio. It strikes a pleasing balance, offering a tranquil setting removed from highway noise yet a short, pleasant drive to Nelson's amenities.”
