Our room was so nice and the front desk attendant was great. We love staying here!
We had a first class experience there....staff were friendly, personable and helpful; the facility was very clean and comfortable. We were hoping there might be a continental breakfast, or fresh fruit to nibble on, but that wasn't a deal breaker for us Thanks!
Enjoyed seeing the elk daily at this hotel. Limited dining options nearby, however. Charming little mountain town. Room was clean and the area felt very safe.
