Property was good for an overnight stay. Room was clean and comfortable. Desk staff could have been more friendly but that’s the only criticism.

Room was comfortable and clean. Plenty of parking. Close to restaurants and brewery. Hiking trail nearby. Staff was friendly. There was not daily cleaning if that is important for your stay. Pool looked refreshing, but was still closed for the season. Should be open soon.

Easy to find amid several shops and eating places. Mables next to the serving station does a superb homecooked breakfast and its cheap. Local workmen and natives go there. The room was good for a wheelchair user. The bath was low and the bathroom is large enough for manouvering. The receptionist and her boss were fountains of knowledge. All in all, we'd recommend this hotel
