The staff was very helpful and courteous. The room was what you would expect from a "budget" hotel. It had everything we needed and nothing we didn't. The mini fridge allowed us to keep essentials on hand. The microwave allowed us to cook in the room and save money not having to eat takeout. The absolute best part of our stay was the continental breakfast. The Golden Waffle machine is AMAZING!!!! All the fresh, golden waffles you can eat. I would stay here again just for the waffles! Great stay at a great price.

If you're here, then you're looking for a good deal but are worried about whether this place is somehow bad. While this place won't win any luxury awards, it is totally fine and clean and comfy. I stay here once in a while when on a solo ski run to Ski Apache, and this place works for me every time. It's quiet, not too far out of town, the rooms were remodelled in the last year or two, the heating is good for cold winter days, and the bathroom was clean. I'll keep coming back here.

The second night, the new guest had a small child that kept knocking on the joining door. The person above us was walkimg back and forth all day and night with heavy steps. We disnt sleep well.
