We had a good night’s rest in this facility. We also enjoyed using the heated outdoor spa, even though we could not get the jets to work. The bathtub looked a bit well used but the shower was great. For the money paid and the ease of access by car, this property worked well.

Small hotel just outside of town which means one needs to drive into town for restaurants and other needs. The room was spacious and basic - nothing fancy but was clean and met our needs. Bed was comfortable enough and towels fine.

Great Mountain View.

Great cute little hotel. Clean and comfortable room. Close to cute eating areas and just a 20 min drive to the best view of the mountains. Staff was super nice and friendly. No complaints at all. I’ll stay here next time I’m in town.
