Very nice place to stay. The pool was loved by our kids - warm and so much fun. We felt safe in the hotel - not issues. Breakfast was good - lots of options, extra fruit to grab on your way out for lunch or a snack later.

Room was fine. Towels a little threadbare. Elk were on the road in front of the motel. We only ate the breakfast one day because it doesn’t start until 7 but it was great. Many options. Definitely try the Elk “chili” (more a soup).
