Staff is always friendly - this is a great place to lay your head at night after riding at brimstone
The desk clerk was friendly. But she failed to tell me that they didn't serve breakfast, even though it says so on the website. Parking was good. The room was clean, but when I got out of the shower, every towel on the shelf was stained. For the price, I expected alot better!!
This was a great place. Not expensive, excellent bedside reading lights, a good shower, a fridge is good shape, with a freezer.

Had to call a number for someone to come check us in. Our room was clean. Bed was firm. Pillows not so nice, but we had our own so no problem. It is OK for an overnight stay. Not sure I would stay 2 nights.

The staff was great. The parking lot was convenient but could use a little clean up. The room was nice. The towels were clean but stained. It was close to the national park ,gas and food. Overall, it was a good experience. The best thing to me was the shower was excellent ( good pressure, temperature and clean).
