We loved our room. Looked newly renovated. Cozy and clean. The staff was 10/10 so nice! They had free breakfast with plenty of outdoor tables. The mornings were cool but the tables were in the sun and it was amazing and a nice view of the mountains. If you want to be right in town this is not the place for you but if you don't mind a 10 minute easy drive and want to stay somewhere quite and cozy I highly recommend. Would definitely stay again if we travel out west!

If you want a good nights sleep, then don’t stay here. Insulation is non-existent. You’ll hear everyone else’s plumbing, walking upstairs, voices. Ear plugs won’t help!

Small room, small sink, noisy room, lousy AC unit (wouldn’t stay on unless it was only fan). Breakfast only thing hot was waffles, and they ran out of spoons or last day. Overpriced. I got a gorgeous room up at Glacier NP for $100. This was a glorified motor lodge and it cost $170.

The only issue is that the doors are loose so every time someone opens their door in the hallway it shakes your door so getting sleep is off and on. They need doors that are stronger or have some kind of padding. You can actually see the light shining through your door from the hallway at night. Coffee was great!

It is a great spot to stay and is in a beautiful location. The staff were responsive, helpful and friendly. They have an outdoor fire pit on the roomy front deck and there is outdoor seating that has a Mountain View! Would definitely stay there again.
