The room was clean and comfortable, but the management’s handling of my booking was unacceptable. The hotel charged my card for the full amount an hour before their office closed, without warning. I had already paid the deposit and first night stay, so this felt excessive and unprofessional. To make matters worse, I was told by the manager that office hours were 8 a.m. – 10 a.m. on Thursday, and I even have an email confirming that. However, they sent an amended schedule the day of check-in — which I didn’t see because I relied on the original information provided when I booked. I showed up promptly at 8 a.m. to pay in person, but the manager was late, and I had to leave for my retreat without staying. Overall, the room was fine, but the lack of clear communication and the unauthorized early charge completely ruined my experience. I wouldn’t book again unless management improves their professionalism and consistency.

We were travelling with 2 pedal bikes. Room was on the 3rd floor. No way we were getting our bikes up stairs. On elevator. Quick phone call to the contact number. A spot on the ground floor was made available for storage. All turned out just great. Thanks so much !!

Although a great location to walk in town the facility was over priced for what it is…. Office closed by 5 pm, there was mold on the shower wall ceiling and dirty floors. No elevators and three floors were rough with a heavy suitcase. It was just a place to rest your head for a night. Nothing spectacular.

A decent place to stay if it’s not a Friday night, when music blares till 2 am from the adjacent pub. Coffee maker was also not clean, which made the morning bleary wake-up even tougher.

This property was no frills but had everything we needed. The room was clean and updated. Did lack a space to hang things. A few more hooks would help. No elevator. Restaurant pub on site. Beautiful view of mountains and creek running next to property. Easy walking distance to shops, restaurants and downtown as well as trails. Take note. No hot tub on site. Great choice for price point.

The room/bathroom seemed dated from the 60's. The top layer covering the steps to the 2nd level needed were broken and the railing rough. Just didn't feel safe or kept up very well at all.

The photo on the Expedia website is deceptive. The property is not attractive and feels like a motel. The door to the bathroom was a barn door that kept sliding open. The restaurant on the first floor pumped out a very heavy odor of bacon cooking. No elevator, we had a third floor walk up. There was an outdoor music venue somewhere close with very loud amplifiers. Music alternated between very loud rock and equally loud accordion polkas. Yes you read that right. Accordion polkas. Between the stink from bacon cooking, the music, and constant traffic noise we couldn’t keep the window open. No A/C of course. The room had a fan. There was an analog clock on the wall with the wrong time.

The views were amazing. The hotel itself is old and therefore although maintained well enough, could def use an upgrade. Low season staffing meant self checkin after 5 pm.The room was small, outside access with no elevator, and well below the usual standards for the high cost. You are paying for location only, not accommodations standards.
