Convenient Base for Canyon Exploration

room designwater cateringvegan optionslarge bathtub
The room was well-designed with ample water catering. I found the bed comfortable. Food at the restaurant included good vegan options. The bathroom had a large bathtub for soaking and stargazing at night.
The timing of happy hour was unsuitable (3 pm to 5 pm).
