What a wonderful spot for a stay! The hotel is nestled in the beautiful mountains of Highlands, very close to downtown. The rooms with King beds and full kitchens were a delight, perfect for a cozy retreat. The service was exceptional, making me feel truly pampered. While the dining, especially the pho, was a real treat, the facilities left a bit to be desired. Overall, a charming escape well worth it.
