Jim was a great host lastnight, so nice to us & got us extra pillows & sheets & towels. Check in was quick & easy. Room was nice & had a beautiful view. Liked the location of room. Bathroom was extremely clean. Breakfast was yummy. Just wish we could’ve had a later check out, but we aren’t members since we don’t stay at hotels much. Gave us a safe, convenient place to stay after swimming late at the hot springs
