Coachman Inn & Suites

Coachman Inn & Suites

10/10 Excellent
"Had a wonderful stay at Coachman Inn, we stayed in a 6-person bedroom, kitchenette was generous, with a stove, microwave, fridge/freezer, and pots, pans, spoons, dishware, etc. We only stayed one night as a transition on our National Parks loop but we envisioned easily staying longer given the lovely and varied buffet breakfast (with toasty coffee and signature gravy and biscuits), kitchenette amenities, and comfortable bedding/room space & storage! The decoration and maintenance was grogeous and really elavated our stay, and the 2 hot tubs were perfect for relaxing! The staff was very friendly and welcoming-Shoutout to Dana who was so gracious to us during our short stay!"
