"Room was clean, and staff were friendly. Outdoor spa seemed to be closed although there was one in the large shower/ combined bathtub in our room. The hotels.com booking app said there was a clothes washer/drier inside our room, but this was incorrect and falsely advertised. (There was a communal laundry for the building however.) Very dated decor and much like faulty towers the way things like the wall heaters and some PowerPoints didn’t work. No room service during our 2 night stay but plenty of towels, coffee and other supplies in our room. Seemed a high price for what we got."
"The bed was comfy, room was cozy, close to national park and restaurants. Hot tub area needs some attention. Chairs were worn and cushions moldy. No instructions on how to work hot tub. TV only has 13 channels. Otherwise perfect for 1 night."
"The staff are amazing. Especially to the owner. He helped us immensely. We had a car issue and he helped us and made us feel welcome. The owner went over and above and beyond to accommodate us. It’s not out of pity. You can tell he's just one of those people you rarely come across who are willing to help. Has a kind caring personality. Big shout-out to the owner. "
"It looks like the place has been going thru renovations. The room has new kitchen and floor, may be carpet too. It is about 15-20 min. to the NP visitor center and many thrailheads and has restaurants and supermarket nearby. Since the room has full pane glass as wall and access door along the corridor ( much like patio door ) which allows full view of the mountains and also tenants walking on the corridor. For privacy, you need to close the curtain."
