I had a water leak in my room from an adjoining room. I was moved to another room on the 2nd level. Both rooms had improvements, but the property itself is old and it shows. Very convenient location to the town, and a place to sleep, that’s about all I can say about this hotel. Would look at other properties if ever in the area again.

In a 9 day stay they cleaned the room twice after asking for them to clean everyday. The rooms were very nice, big and remodeled. Housekeeping terrible, never came. Four bags of trash not taken away, towels changed twice in 9 days. Hotel is promising, cleanliness zero.

The Outpost looks to be recently remodeled- very cute mid century modern style to the room. Our room did not have any hangers which was a bummer since we couldn’t hang our clothes. Otherwise overall a pretty great place!

Conveniently located, grocery nearby, clean, comfortable. There was no ice section of the in room fridge so we couldn't freeze our reusable ice brick. Thr continental breakfast wasn't set up until after 7:30 and we wanted to get into the park early because of the timed entry requirement. 7:30 wasn't early enough for our tastes.
