We chose not to eat there we’re not what I call breakfast. Fruit, bagel, instant oats, juice coffee. Carpet needs to be replaced very worn. It was clean, quiet, the staff was extremely helpful and courteous and respectful. Yes yes. I will recommend it to others, but I will also let them know that if they are expecting like most hotels have scrambled eggs, biscuit and gravy, bacon sausage, hot cakes the actual will be no.

The elevator was broken when we arrived and they had given our room to another customer due to a last name similarity. This resulted me and my 8 yo daughter having to haul our bags up 4 flights of stairs. The halls smelt like weed and the beds/pillows were uncomfortable. Will more than likely not stay here again.

Maybe not the hotel if you are there to hike

The staff was really nice. The hotel was clean, and everything in my room worked. The bed was super uncomfortable is my big complaint, and I was glad I was only staying one night.

This is an older motel but the room we stayed in had been refurbished. It was clean, the shower was walk-in, so easy for older people - no tub to try to get across. The room seemed clean, the area was quite. Within walking distance of the casino.
