Central location, nice view. Friendly staff. Room was a third storey walk up. Difficult to carry up luggage. Attached pub/bar that had live band playing from 10pm to 2am on the Friday and Saturday night that we stayed. Very loud, not good for light sleepers or families with young children.

It is what it is, it would be a great value at 100$ but at 250$ not so much. I get it's very touristy, but this is way overpriced for what it offers. And the pub attached to the Inn is overrated. Bad food, worse service from the one waiter. All a disappointment.

Always a picture is mountain view window. The room was extremely clean. This was not a high-end hotel, but sure was worth the stay. It has all you need, no frills required!! The attached restaurant has fantastic, delicious food and beverage And “Tayla was our awesome waitress! I would definitely stay again.

Location has always been the attraction but never again. No lock on patio door just an old hockey stick to keep closed. Parking is a nightmare. Building is falling apart and no upkeep being done. Very dismal, and run down.

Really enjoyed our stay, especially for the very reasonable price compared to other hotels in the area. The lady at the front desk was so so kind, we traveled with 2 dogs and an infant and she was very accommodating and helpful, from letting us check in early, to holding the paperwork still while I had a baby strapped to me. She even upgraded our room which was so appreciated! The room could’ve used some more mopping and dusting, as well as not having watered down hand soap, but besides that, we are very happy with our stay and would recommend to others!
