Great hotel for families with kids. Lots of fun things to do for kids like swimming and playing on the playground. The rooms are large and very clean. The location is great as it is close to downtown but far enough to be restful.

I didn’t care for the old wooden walkway. You could hear every step outside your door. Very small bathroom. Nice mountain decor. They had a neat popcorn maker and said they have a time slot for handing out smores.
