Great value and comfort here!

We had initially planned to stay somewhere out of 'town' but a last minute storm put paid to that!But we always knew we had the Aspen Court as a great option. We'd stayed here previously in 2017 and were happy to stay again, and tge value on offer is great. The place seems to have barely changed during that time, but has been extremely well maintained. The friendly and helpful managers are locals and know the area well. Plenty of knowledge available on the best places to eat, hike and take in the sights. The hotel is a short walk to most eating establishments along with the local supermarket. The room itself was fantastic. Well-appointed, fastidiously clean (I would have given it six stars for cleanliness if I could) with plenty of space. A king size bed and a decent couch provided the comforts people appreciate while travelling. The shower also came with one of those steam hoods which is quite a nice touch in a colder location - and this was their standard room. Car parking is available just outside your door in most cases, and the place isn't big enough to have cars coming and going too often. There is an onsite laundry available with two washers and dryers ($4 each use), and unlike many places, the machines are clean and well kept.
