The room view from our 2nd floor balcony was EXCELLENT !! Great view of the snowcapped mountains w/ the lake in the foreground. Room was great as well, nicely furnished in old rustic western. The setback from a 5star was a jerk desk clerk (20+ guy) on the last morning with a "don't like my job" aire and short demeaning tone. As well, the Inn does not serve any breakfast options, you must find a place in town. They do serve dinner and alcohol at a stiff price point.

Great stay. Friendly staff, outstanding out tub. Beds are completely although the metal platforms are noisy when you bump them. Gave 4 stars vs 5 because at 3:am some alarm went off in our room. Unplugged the heater and it stopped. Clerk did give us a credit for the inconvenience.
