Very good

Gross and not on the river. It’s on a creek. The beds were not clean, the floors turned my white socks brown, the light switches were broke, and overall gross. At least they didn’t have bedbugs! For the price, I thought it was a rod run deal or something…it was not that cheap for rod run it’s because it is gross. The employees were super nice and the fire pit is cool! Parking is very convenient.

It was very easy walk to where needed to go. The room had a fu ky smell which showed there was black mold where the ac unit is and when taking a shower the bathtub did not drain wwll at all extremely slow drain. Tje clerk was semi friendly.
This was a really nice hotel to stay at. We got to see bears at nighttime walking around and with us being up there during rod run our area was peaceful. If catching the trolley its à quick 5 minute walk to the aquarium and I definitely recommend it
In town for tournament with family. Loved the balcony with view & the clock bells every morning! Room was nice with comfortable pillows. Even though parking was tight everyday, we found a spot. We will be back.
We always enjoy staying here because of the convience

Bears walking out your door was a nice touch. Room was very nice and clean and very quiet. Did reccomend to all the locals I know as easy to town or other areas. Will use again
cleaning staff did not sweep. smoking area around pool let smoke drift into rooms above, bushes between hotel parking and public parking need to be cut, other guest smoking on their balcony kept us from enjoying ours
I have stayed here several times for the convenience and cleanliness. Close to aquarium and shopping. Large rooms. Be aware it is a motel and not a fancy hotel. If what you need is a no frills economical place this js your place.
It was a nice room and the did offer a grab-to-go breakfast. It was close to town and events which saved a lot on parking. I don’t like that you can be css as led on your in room landline by anyone. The people above us threw or dropped things on our balcony. Then they came knocking on our door at midnight. We didn’t answer so they called us a couple of times on our room phone after midnight wanting us to get their dropped items for them and leave it outside our door. We prefer others not having phone access to our room.
I’ll tell you what from the last hotel that we stayed out with at Mountain Inn behind this one that I want my money back for y’all still haven’t responded to that. This was amazing cleaned every day. Words can explain how happy I was so happy that we’re going back to the same hotel for fall break When we can
