The hotel has two storeys, and covered verandas at the front of each floor. The roof is steeply pitched. A wing of the hotel extends from the back. There is a square, covered building adjoining the back of the hotel at right center. At roughly the same level, and stretching from center to lower left, there is a row of tents---four tent/cabins, and one teepee-shaped tent. A possible use of the tents is as overflow for sold out rooms. Orchards and a scattering of houses are in the flatlands on the far side of the hotel.
