We were surprised too! I guess they weren't booked. I had a few protein bars packed to hold us over, just in case. An awesome sight is correct. The old grandeur of the mountain house is unbelievable. The pictures do it no justice. The inside reminded me a bit of the shining. (Kubrick version, not the crappy one with the guy from "wings.") I wouldn't mind staying there as all meals are inclusive, but I won't be "walking in" for a 55 buck buffet any time soon.
