Very basic facility, clean with friendly owner. Stayed in a room with queen bed, TV, shower and large extra room set up for storage of ski's, mountian bikes, etc. About a 5 minute drive to downtown area with dinners, and restraunts.

There are significantly better options

This hotel is possibly the worst hotel in the area. I’ve stayed here twice and both times I’ve regretted it. Paper thin walls, dated ascetic, and zero staff. If you want stay at a boarding house then go for it.
