Pleasant stay
Dragons Peak never disappoints…absolutely love this place. However, would be nice if they can maybe include air conditioners or a fan on a stand as it did get quite warm at night. If hiking routes can also be marked a bit clearer it would help. Either way, loved our stay and love the place. Will definitely be back:-)

Disliked: Staff & service
The room (I was in a Lakeside studio) is spacious and looks just as advertised which is great, although the toaster was out of order. The outside of the building isn't much to speak of if you really want to feel like you've gone somewhere scenic, but the property and room itself are sufficient if you don't mind the outside aesthetic so much. Service could be better (housekeeping came several times a day unexpectedly and there is no "Do Not Disturb" sign if you'd rather they didn't). I had a good experience there though and I would go again
