Great location but hotel itself needs updating.
The hotel location was fantastic but that’s about it. We got the family suite, but it was a lot smaller than expected, and there was nowhere to sit, no couches or any extra tables in the extra bedroom. They had one small table with two chairs, but they were very uncomfortable. There were five of us so we had to bring our own extra chairs inside. The fridge and bathroom drawers weren’t clean. Looks like it had stuff left over from the people before us. The complementary breakfast was just some bread and fruit and one choice of dry cereal.

Our room was an older room that had been upgraded. Walls are thin. Heard people next door talking and heard people walking around in room above ours. Fortunately our neighbors were quiet so it wasn’t a problem for us.

Beautiful location right in town. The elk were around us everywhere and could be heard and seen every day! Guests enjoyed standing outside getting video and photos of the large beautiful animals. The room was clean, beds comfortable. Bathroom and shower area clean. If youre a coffee lover like me, the coffee makers could use an upgrade from the little one cupper coffee pouch with a pink sugar bag and stir stick. Besides that, we loved it
