Pretty alright hotel. The wifi is very patchy and the walls are thin so if you’re a light sleeper you might want to bring some earplugs. Overall, the location is great and the staff are friendly/helpful.

The room was clean and had a view of the mountains. We had a fridge & microwave. The hotel itself is old and in need of an update. We didn’t spend much time in our room. The parking was free. The location is great. It is one of the cheapest priced hotels we could find. It suited our needs.

Our room was clean and comfortable but the AC was very noisy and woke both of us up several times during the night. The fan could not be set at low. Old machine that worked to cool the room but was the noisiest system I’ve heard.
