Amazing vacation spot! Small, clean, cozy, and quiet hotel, friendly and helpful staff. They serve simple but hearty breakfast, so that there is no need to go out looking for food in the morning. My favorite part was the hot tub. After a day of hiking, sightseeing, driving, it was so nice to get in the hot bubbling water and relax those sore muscles. Would book again.

The room was clean, nice bedsheets, not a bad mattress. Breakfast was good, parking was readily available; shower was amazingly hot. Hotel's staff was very courteous and nice. The only downside is that hotel itself is quiet old, so if you don't have super high expectations, you'll like it there
