Best hotel

The hotel was very peaceful and you could see the elk when it was feeding time. The hotel had rocking chair out side for you to sit and relax in. I could not asked for a better time. We had stayed in other hotel and pay alot more but this one is one of the nicest one there is. You could walk to the store and see the river across the street.

Old school motel but rooms were redone. The rooms were very clean but the air conditioning did not work well. The TV did not work particularly well. The bed was nice. The room was very quiet. We would have preferred a bit better towels. The ice machine was down. The staff was very nice. Location was easy walking to a number of locations, but you can't walk to unto these hills like advertised due to the trail being down and the road being too dangerous. Lastly, the room was a bit pricey for what it was and there was a pretty high resort fee for some reason, but it's not a resort.

This place was a gem! Nice staff, clean rooms, amazing homemade breakfast! My only suggestion would be to have a brighter light in the bathroom, but that’s all! Was nice to be able to walk to many places from there.
