A beautiful hotel

The hotel has been beautifully restored and the staff is very friendly. Breakfast was great with fresh-made sandwiches ready for reheating. We really only have 2 complaints and neither will stop us from visiting again. 1) The mattress needs to be flipped or rotated, if not replaced entirely. Waking up with a stiff/sore back was no bueno. 2) we could not get the jets to turn on in the oversized tub. That may have helped the backs a little.

Always enjoy are stay. We have been here 8-10 times and a soak in the whirlpool tub after a day of hiking feels incredible. I do need to be sure to get a room with a desk because I work a little on Mondays after a Sunday night stay.

Most aspects of my stay were excellent, but there were dirty clothes left in the drawer by the previous occupant, and aside from the complimentary breakfast, dining options at the hotel are nearly non-existent.
