One would think that a hotel perched on the Curonian Spit, blessed with natural beauty all around, might try—if only out of courtesy to its surroundings—to rise to the occasion. Alas, this establishment has chosen quite the opposite path. We stayed one night with friends, and it was one night too many. Our room was perched directly above the restaurant, which meant a soundtrack of clattering plates and muffled voices running late into the night and resuming at dawn. But noise, as it turned out, was the least of our worries. The true highlight of our stay was the staff, whose defining characteristic seemed to be a studied hostility. The receptionist—apparently also the proprietor—was a virtuoso of unpleasantness, shouting at us over a dog supplement fee. We had no objection to the principle of paying, but the fee itself varied mysteriously depending on whether one spoke English or Lithuanian, and, in a charmingly outdated twist, only cash was accepted. Credit cards, it seems, offend her sensibilities. The rooms themselves? Imagine the décor of a dreary roadside motel, subtract whatever comfort might remain, and you’ll have the general idea. The bedding was joyless, the atmosphere drab, the experience unwelcoming. The only thing luxurious here is the gall with which guests are treated. In short: if you wish to discover the one activity worth pursuing at this hotel, it is the simplest of all—keep walking.

The restaurant is expensive, I don't think most of their meals would be worth it. The šaltibarščiai and their signature potato pancakes were good and that's what I would reccomend to order here. Keep in mind the potato pancake portions are quite big, you get 3 pancakes, each about the size of your hand. You might also want to consider getting additional sour cream or other additions as the included amount of sour cream is not enough for all the pancakes personally.

Horrible restaurant service. Ordered 3 meals and only 2 arrived, had to order again. Same with drinks, ordered 3 beers and coffe but only 2 beers came and a coffe. Overprized dumplings with a very small portion. Salads are very oily. Very slow service like he does not care about the customers. Never again, i'd rather starve...
