It’s a solid place to stay if you need a bed for the night. What got me was the movies are on DVD and you have to call the front to order them and have them play it for you..kinda odd. But overall great location with lots of food nearby

Excellent ust service and a comfortable and clean.

An old hotel but well maintained. Noise from room above disturbed sleep. Convenient for town and the lake with a partial view of the mountains. Parking and WiFi were excellent.
