"Had a great stay of several days. The room and bathrooms were very clean and well maintained. Mattress and bedding was very comfortable even though I have a sore back from time to time. Did not negatively impact my back at all!!! Plenty of hot water for showers - no issues at all. Staff on duty (Liam, the manager) was very helpful with local suggestions of places to go and things to do. I would without hesitation book here again!! The area has plenty of things to do and see all year round --- hiking, skiing, exploring, boating, sport fishing, river rafting, etc. There was even a rodeo nearby during my stay, including a concert. Movie theaters pretty close by also if it's a rainy day. Numerous good places to eat --- even a bakery/breakfast-lunch kitchen next door and a place to rent a kayak or bicycles. Terrific hotel and location."
