Reasonable place for the price

3 beds in 2 pretty small rooms served the need for us staying the night during our ski trip. We ate breakfast at Heidi's just across the street. Bathroom was pretty clean. The sheets and blankets were clean too but looked quite old. Carpet looked old too. Overall, I would not mind staying again. But I would probably prefer a slightly more spacious main room.

It did not look like the pics on the website, the room was so small that we left, we didn’t like and felt so tiny for our stuff and us, the outside looked like they didn’t keep up with the place and the stairs were terrible

Bang for your buck and really nice workers!

Super nice receptionist and issue with pilot light going out was resolved quickly by the maintenance guy who was also really nice. Great value for the money if you just need a place to crash and aren't picky about the little things.
