Not worth the price!!!
Received a call about 4 hours before check in time asking what time we would be arriving. Gave an estimated of the check in time. Was told if we arrived after 4:00 pm, we would have to call the "on call" person to check in! Really?!!! Arrived at check in time of 3:00. Door was locked. Someone finally came to the door for us to check in. We were told if we needed anything after 4:00 we would have to call the on call person. The lobby is only open 8:00 am - 4:00pm. No worries! We were not told "no daily housekeeping" at any time. We found a card in the room. 2 people staying in the room for 2 nights. We had 2 queen beds (both as hard as a board), 3 wash cloths, 3 towels and hand towels. We did not call anyone. We did not complain. We will not stay at that hotel ever again. Spend a few more $$ and stay some place that has someone on duty!! It appeared to be clean, but dusty. Enough said.

Good location for access to national park. Price was OK. Furnishings were generally in good repair, but some updating is needed. Internet was fairly slow. Towels were small. Staff was efficient but barely cordial.
