This place has it all! We did road trip and stayed here a couple of days exploring and hiking and I have to say this place delivers! It has a washer and dryer room ( which was a big plus for us) and the restaurant on the premises was a cool convenient feature. The options with the pools - hot tops were great. Our stay was great
