I was in the area for a wedding so only stayed for a brief overnight. Great communication by the owners. Room was large, charming, and clean. I would definitely stay here again if I was in the area. One thing is to download directions to the hotel and how to get into your room prior to your arrival as cell service in the area is spotty. Once there, it is not a problem as they have excellent WiFi

this beautiful little boutique hotel is clearly a passion project, and my partner and I had a wonderful time! every detail in the decor / food offerings / area guide was so thoughtful and very appreciated. I thoroughly recommend to all! Sad we didn’t have time to try the onsite restaurant, which looked totally delicious, or use the fire pits for roasting s’mores!

The Alander was exactly what my wife and I were looking for. We spent the day hiking and wanted a neat place to spend the night. The room and property had a very cool vibe. I'd definitely return, and recommend this place to others.

I love Motel stays and this was a great one, there's a certain charm and feel I get from a motel. Property was in great condition, comfortable and a pleasure to stay in. All the practical experiences of a motel plus the comfort and convivences of a modern hotel. They were welcoming of us and our Dog and we really enjoyed our stay

I believe they are charging way too much for the stay. The mattress is extremely uncomfortable and sags to the center as soon as you lay down. . Found the electric locks confusing. The bathroom can definitely use some help. The checking process is not easy. The water collects in the tub and shower curtain is dirty. Lot to write. I suggest finding other place to stay.
