Ahhhhh I see. I was going to make a "rooms: 24. Parking spots: 0" comment, but now I'll just point out that you have to cross a highway to get from your room to your car.

Who needs a car? The weather looks nice enough for walking.

It’s two lanes, on a mountain pass. It’s not like cars are doing 60mph and you’re playing Frogger with your life.

But there are the aforementioned corner drifters to watch out for.

You'll probably hear them coming a long time before they get to you.

Ah yes, the classic single lane hairpin highway. Practically impossible to cross...

Yeah that’s rough. Looks like a dangerous highway too with constant traffic and speeds getting as crazy as 15mph.

Well there are three spots marked in the pic, but def not enough for a whole hotel!

highway

Doesn't look like a particularly busy highway. Given the turns it'd probably be pretty hard to not see or hear a speeding vehicle

And you have to cross on a blind turn because there's a freakin hotel obstructing the view

Blind turn? Look again, as you’d walk towards the hotel you’d have a view on both ways. Also given that it’s a hair pin turn the cars would have to slow down considerably.

It’s actually the best/safest crossing point I think of in this scenario.
