Within walking distance to downtown. During our stay we had to ask for toilet paper and wash cloths. Also the parking was not good. Not enough spaces. One night we came in and there were no spots left, we were told to park in the back (our room was in the front) there was 1 spot left and one of the cars had parked across the line and our Tahoe would not fit in space. Manager had to move her car in order for us to have a place to park.

We enjoyed our stay here. The outdoor pool seemed to be heated and was really nice. They ran out of pool towels but that's not a big deal. There were unique amenities like complimentary s'mores at their other building (half mile away). There are also bikes available to use. Breakfast options were limited but good. There were also trail mix snacks available at check-in.

Diana

Disliked: Amenities
Positives: modern lobby, spacious suite room w/ obvious updates, staff friendly. Negatives: unable to check us in on time, offered 20% discount but not given at checkout as said manager would take care of later, my friend and I both fell from chairs breaking in the room as they were falling apart, asked for room to be serviced one day and didn’t so took down trash myself and got fresh towels the 4 days we were there. My cousin got call from mgr and told her she could checkout for cursing at her staff and then realized she called wrong person. My cousin’s room had to be recleaned upon checkin as hair everywhere and sliding door wouldn’t lock. Website says free breakfast offered and half time no coffee and it was a few pastries and apples left out. While in lobby, Staff on phone with other complaints from guests. Not within easy walking distance of shopping as edge of town and on highway.

Comfortable, but very noisy

Beds were comfortable. Room was clean. Since it is an older building that has been remodeled, the walls are thin. Other guests were very noisy. Can hear their conversations through the walls, and people walking around above sounded like they were going to fall through the ceiling.

Room was clean and beds were comfortable. There was plenty of hot water. Rooms have a small mini fridge, but it would be nice to have a microwave also. The air conditioners were the typical noisy units that cycle on and off all night but if you wear earplugs, it’s not a problem. We weren’t expecting breakfast because I don’t think it was listed in the property description but when we checked in, we were informed that it would be at 7 AM and there was a little list of the food that would be available… granola, yogurt, muffins, coffee, and water. Two of the days we were there no one had shown up by 7:15 which was an issue for us since we had to get into the park before 9:00 since we were lacking a timed entry for that day. We weren’t using room service and had run out of the instant coffee they provided. I tried to get some from the front desk, but the the girl there said she didn’t have any… I think she just didn’t want to get up and go look for some . They have a sister property close by that you can get 10% off dinner and free s’mores around the campfire. The restaurant there was fairly small but had a nice bar and the fish tacos we got were amazing. I would stay here again, but I’m not too picky about things.

Loved the trail vibe, room was clean, modern, comfortable. Breakfast was adequate with bread/muffins, yogurt, granola, PB&J, coffee/water. What more do you need on the trail? The conversation pit was a great way to connect with other (hikers).
