Pros: The view was stunning, a lovely location, just like the rest of Avalon

Cons: There being only one innkeeper at a time caused for us to be confused when we tried to get our things out of bagcheck. Because the employee was out to lunch, we were waiting for a while. Otherwise,everything was fine!
