The rooms were clean and comfortable. The place seemed quiet. Water was hot, towels were fresh and clean. They have an ice machine with the good "Sonic ice" and cold water. Skiing was within walking distance, but with all the gear needed, we drove. I'd stay here again. You can find a video walk-thru on my TikTok account.
