The staff are known for their thoughtful attention to guests, and the small size of the hotel—just five rooms—ensures they are never overwhelmed by guests' requests or needs.

Free breakfast is served at a communal picnic table, but other than the occasional lunch (requested in advance), guest have to venture farther down the Hotel Zone for meals, drinks, or any other attractions.
