It wasn't too far from the main street so if you choose to drink a lot it's a perfect way to walk some of the alcohol off! The staff was very friendly, the room felt cozy! Would recommend again and come to stay another time!

The room was nicely appointed, the staff were friendly and helpful and the breakfast was a little more substantial than you’d find at motel chains. The location was convenient for walking into the core retail area while still having great views of the nearby mountains.
