Rooms are not only clean but up to date with tasteful decor. Staff is friendly and helpful. This is our 2nd year staying and we are very happy with our whole experience. Breakfast is great with hot options daily. It's at the end of town and not as busy with traffic like most places in town. We can't wait to stay again next year.

Room was clean, staff was exceptionally helpful, breakfast was good (menu rotates daily which is nice for those staying multiple days). Wonderful national parks very close by. The only issue was that the door to our room (walk directly outside to parking lot), did not line up with the frame and we could see daylight under the door. We laid a towel down along the bottom of the door at night to help keep bugs out.

Hotel was very nice. I wish there was an exercise room but not a deal breaker. Rooms are nice but the air conditioner was too high up and even with the remote it was hard to see what the temp was. Fan in bathroom loud and water pressure in shower could be stronger. I do love the easiness of parking in front of our room and access to the lobby and breakfast area. The breakfast attendant was very nice, helpful and cleared dishes as we finished eating. She was awesome! We will stay here again
