Best hotel

The hotel was very peaceful and you could see the elk when it was feeding time. The hotel had rocking chair out side for you to sit and relax in. I could not asked for a better time. We had stayed in other hotel and pay alot more but this one is one of the nicest one there is. You could walk to the store and see the river across the street.

The bedding was dirty. We immediately requested more bedding. The room smelled of mold, causing my head to hurt. We ended up leaving early.

Old school motel but rooms were redone. The rooms were very clean but the air conditioning did not work well. The TV did not work particularly well. The bed was nice. The room was very quiet. We would have preferred a bit better towels. The ice machine was down. The staff was very nice. Location was easy walking to a number of locations, but you can't walk to unto these hills like advertised due to the trail being down and the road being too dangerous. Lastly, the room was a bit pricey for what it was and there was a pretty high resort fee for some reason, but it's not a resort.

This place was a gem! Nice staff, clean rooms, amazing homemade breakfast! My only suggestion would be to have a brighter light in the bathroom, but that’s all! Was nice to be able to walk to many places from there.

The breakfast is not like any other hotel. You order at window and it is made when you order. You also get fresh fruit and a cinnamon roll. Juice and coffee. This hotel is one level. No stairs. The room was clean and well maintained.

The travel Lodge room was very spacious and clean. There was no facial tossues in the room, but fortunately they were not needed during our 1 night stay. The free breskfast is a bit deciving as only" famous" breakfast tortillias were the offering. Over all a great place for an overnight stay.
