What Guests Are Saying

“We loved our stay in this small hotel. Quiet and a little remote. Only trouble for seniors would be access to the garden tub shower. Too hard to climb into! However they seem to be remodeling units so maybe they are putting in walk in showers ! Great location close to the national park” — Vdoane, 5 stars

“Everything is clear instructed. Location os so convenient to the trolley stop (across the street) for the red route that takes you to the most restaurants , anakeesta and the aquarium. Room is clean. Breakfast is ok. But we are not there to eat breakfast.” — mvanderzijp, 5 stars

“The location is great, it’s right next to the strip. Our rooms and bed are great too. Our bathroom and shower are clean and nice. We’ve come here twice now and we love it here. I really like the new tvs and stations that are available.” — Terry R., 5 stars

"Great location, walking distance to everything which was great because there was a lot of traffic trying to drive anywhere. The free trolley also stops nearby. The rooms were clean and had a nice little fireplace plus a balcony. We even got to see a bear walk through the parking lot. The free breakfast is just grab and go stuff. Pet friendly."

"The hotel was clean and quiet and had room for the truck and trailer Monday night. The beds were also clean and you didn't have to worry about them creaking or making noises when you rolled over."
