I enjoyed my visit and would recommend. I stayed in the main hotel which has the feel of an old western lodge. The room was fairly small but it was very clean, had cool retro decorations, and the king bed was comfortable. Plenty of parking, quiet, and powerful internet. I ate dinner and breakfast at the hotel’s restaurant, both meals were delicious and reasonably priced.
