We'd stay again.
A set of comfy lodge-style rooms spread over several 2 story buildings up the hill from the main town. However, we thought that we'd be able to stay here and wander into town, but that's not the case - the road is dark, secluded, and there are bears. It's a bit too far to just nip in for dinner, and the bus service was awful. If you're staying here, a car will give you far more freedom to head out and about, so factor that additional cost in. Also be aware that there are steps up to reception and half of the lodges, so if you have accessibility issues, investigate that further.

We were kept up all night as we could hear the people next to us snoring. The walls are paper thin. The staff did nothing about it. We asked for a refund as we did not get any sleep and left early. We were told the manager would call us and they never did. Will never go back.
