Location great. I was there two nights so was able to leave my car parked there while I walked to Anakeesta and spent the day there. Breakfast was good. Thankful there was a safe in my room. Room was clean, large, and comfortable. I enjoyed hearing the creek while falling asleep. The only negative is that the room sorely needs to be refurbished.

Loved the rustic cabin looking rooms. And furniture. The fireplace was great and nice and warm when cold. Just bring some wood with you cause the wood they sell is on the very small side for 8$ a bag.

This hotel has a lot of potential. We truly loved the atmosphere and the aesthetic. You could tell the age which is not a problem. The problem we found is the cleanliness of this hotel, I could easily tell that one of our beds out of the two wasn’t changed from the previous stay due to the smell of a wooden fire within the sheets (not changing the sheets wether the bed has been used or not is a huge problem for me) you could tell it was due a deep cleaning over all. The staff were excellent. Very kind and welcoming. Location was easy to find. It could be walking distance to the strip if you were up for it but ideally probably not. Peaceful location. Loved the river behind the hotel.
