After all the negative reviews I read I wasn’t sure I would enjoy my stay. My husband looks for the cheapest place to stay. Our room was clean, bedding clean. And the cleanest bathroom I have come across. No carpet was a plus in my book. Staff was nice. Continental breakfast was adequate. There are restaurants close if a person didn’t want this. I would recommend to stay here. Room was cleaned daily. Towels were thick and not thread bare like some stated in their review. I feel the negative reviews we false.

Hotel room was clean and comfortable. We had faced problem with bathroom commode flush but they immediately changed the room upon reporting the problem. Breakfast was having very limited choices however it was good. The surrounding area was beautiful and eventually we were lucky to see a gang of elk crossing the road in front of the hotel. We will recommend this property for family stay.

Don't Trust All the Positive Reviews
Room has not been updated probably within the last decade. Mattress was most likely old or of low quality because it was out of shape. Bedside lamp was broken. Manager said he would get another lamp and I would also be compensated. They never brought in another lamp. Carpet was coming up and was a hazard on the outside balcony walkway! They failed to contact me after I sent them emails through Hotels.com and to their web site asking them about compensation they promised.I figured they would contact me because, before my trip they had no problem contacting me when i needed questions asked.Don't trust all the positive reviews about this place. This hotel is not worth it even though it might be cheaper than other hotels in the area.

Though the reception clerk was nice and helpful, the property is dated. The toilet ran constantly. The heater wouldn’t work as it should because the filter needed changing. The unit had a very strong smell of Clorox that meant we had to air the room out before we could tolerate being in there.
