The hotel was clean, quiet, and comfortable for a one night stay. The property is kept up well for an older building. There were several gift shops and restaurants within walking distance. We saw elk about 1/4 mile down the road from the hotel while departing. Would definitely consider staying here again if in the area.

This place is great! The front desk staff was accommodating of our late check in, friendly even at 1130 at night! The room was clean and stocked, can’t believe the price! We will definitely be back! Only recommendation is bring your own pillows. Everything else was great! Check out was super easy and the other staff at check out was also super pleasant. Thanks y’all!

Hotel is clean and updated. Staffs are friendly. I had issue with finding printer to print parking tag. Front desk Jennie is exceptional, she was patient with me, and assisted me to print the tag and save me a trip to look for local library. I have t mobile and zero signal in the area. Their WiFi is good and no issue to stay connect during my stay. Breakfast place across the st is a plus.
