Sidney James Mountain Lodge

Sidney James Mountain Lodge

10/10 Excellent
"Small cafรฉ on site which has a very limited menu. Breakfast menu at cafรฉ is a little high for the amount of food you get room was clean. Staff was very helpful. Very friendly would recommend getting a room in the new wing rather than the old wing. Beware there is a large amount of black bears that pretty much roam all over the town. Be sure to not leave any food in your car and checking in and to lock your doors because the bears can open the doors of cars some have even smashed open the sunroof of a car to get in for food be advised"

However I will say that if you plan on walking downtown(super convenient) you have to walk back up a pretty decent incline hill.
