Nice big rooms, we didn't have a tour one day and one of their staff drove us out to the Inca ruin and waited for us there, just the two of us and they charged us $20 less than going by tour, the trip took about 2 and a half hours in total. Breakfast was nice, staff were very helpful. Water was really hot
