Good location, not far from the lake and shops and restaurants. The property is older, with some oddly constructed additions. The concrete steps to the upper floor are too steep and not easy to navigate. Some renovations are needed on both the interior and exterior. The employees are pleasant. The rooms are clean and functional, but not modern or attractive.

This hotel was fine for a few nights. Good location, very walkable to town and our room had a nice view of the mountains. Only negative was a wet spot in front of the refrigerator, which was very smelly whenever we came back to our room after being gone. It was OK after we aired it out a while. Wish that there would’ve been someone at the desk more hours to answer some questions we had and to report the wet spot. Didn’t seem to be anyone there when we needed them. Had a rowdy group across the hall one night and it would’ve been nice to have the management quiet them down, but there was no one at the desk. However they were very good and helpful when they were there, and we appreciated them helping us with our bags since there were several flights of steps we had to go up, and our bags were extremely heavy! The room was well equipped with kitchen items and provided coffee , tea, and milk, which was nice.
