The hotel was amazing!! After a week of hard hiking, I had a quiet morning, so I took my coffee and went to the clubhouse, started a fire, in the electric fireplace, shot pool, and watched the sun rise through the giant glass doors. It was perfect!!

A really fun place with rooms dating from 1950 to 1968 (we had 1971, with characters from Laugh-in decorating the walls)☺️. Very clean with a surprisingly wide choice of breakfast items.

Great retro feel; great front desk staff and breakfast decent; but…bed sheets didn’t fit; walls paper thin so heard the neighbouring room guests until 12:15 am; shower head excellent but no counter in bathroom. Air conditioner made noise of dripping water all night. I would not stay again.

The room was simple but spotlessly clean! I was in a Marilyn Monroe room that sparkled. Breakfast was plentiful but, as usual in hotels, sparse on items for a celiac (gluten-free). Even so, I got my fill on yogurt, fruit, and oatmeal and was on my way to more adventures. I'll be back!
