Very clean, well maintained, bed was nice and comfortable, but not a lot to do, rooms were small, not much storage, kind of cold feeling, 1st floor felt like a dungeon, parking and registration were a haul, not sure we would stay there again.

Very clean and beautiful hotel. We booked a smaller room, I’d recommend a larger room or at least one with a chair, however; the common rooms are fantastic and there are plenty of places to sit around the hotel. It is very convenient to town, hiking, shopping and eating. Staff is friendly. We had an issue with the temp gauge in our room and were accommodated very quickly.
