I was in Room 101. Directly above me was a living and or apartment unit. Could hear everything and up all night. Had to check out early. Staff and owners were aware of the situation, however did not follow up.

The price was good, but the room was fairly run down. People were stomping above me, which kept me up.

Liked: Amenities
A bit confusing , no contact checkin , never seen a single soul. I was just about to say forget it because when you scan the QR code on the door to check in it’s as if you don’t have.a reservation and it’s just round and round . Long check in but once I figured it out . We were checked in

We shall return if in the area again. The only issue we had were the double beds. Too small for us to sleep comfortably together. However, other rooms had queen beds. We just happened to get the room that didn’t and chose to sleep separately than change rooms because of the other amenities in the room. The front desk isn’t staffed but their sister hotel across the street will assist as needed. Great place to stay if in town for fishing, skiing, etc. more of a cabin feel than a hotel. Great price (early Oct).
