This is a deceptively small outpost location, with only eight foes and alarm panels close to each other. Combat is mainly limited to the hotel interior and courtyard near the hot springs. This means stealth tactics require more forethought, enemy tagging, and watching where foes are looking before you take action.
The front (northeast) entrance road to the hotel isn’t the best way to start the infiltration of this location. It’s better to look at the foes from higher ground to the west and south.
The heavy cultist usually patrols the hotel interior, which is on two main floors around a grand hall. Interior stairs on the south or exterior access lead to a separate small tower and room 301 (locked and only accessible from the exterior balcony on the southeast side). The other main priority target is a leather coat cultist looking out the main landing window, near 
.
You can scan the combat zone from the west rocks 
or southwest stream 
, but an attack from here isn’t the most cunning, as you’re easily seen by foes from outside and inside the hotel. If you’re trying to shoot both alarm panels, the northwest rocks 
provide clear shots to each.
You can climb onto the roof via the grapple point balcony or a ladder at the east corner 
, or via the roof of the wraparound porch. Naturally, this is a great place to hide or even drop through a skylight onto a foe guarding the great hall.
Undetected/No Alarms: The following sequence offers a straightforward takedown of all foes, and can be done without firing a shot. Begin in the woods to the southeast 
. Move to the eastern porch ladder 
and use that or the main hotel doors on the northeast side to enter the premises. Strangle the foe, or leap down and silently stomp him in the great room by the fireplace 
. Track the heavy, grabbing him from behind. Then sneak up to the landing and remove the leather-coated foe, leaving five Peggies to go.
Lurk in the kitchens 
, wait for a patrolling foe to stride in, and stealth-kill them. Creep out into the courtyard 
and remove the two patrolling foes quickly, leaving you two enemies pouring Bliss barrels. A swift headshot for each, or strangulation, and the place is secured.
