Surprisingly quiet given that it’s next to a highway. Our unit was comfortable for our family of six. We also made use of their laundry, which takes coins and costs $4 per wash and $4 per dry cycle.

Great place to stay in Methven handy to the mountain. Rooms were well set up with good clothes drying rails. Heater did the trick! Bed linen clean and fresh. Two nights was enough on the mattress. Older style shower over bath but water hot. Very noisy from other guests but to be expected with early morning starts for the mountain. Would be great if there were interconnecting family rooms instead of having to knock and shout at the kids in the room next door to wake them up. Nice breakfast and a good vibe in the communal areas. Location ok but still had to drive the minute or two to most restaurants as too cold and rainy to walk
