Nice little spot.

A rustic hotel that is in a perfect location for visiting the area. We booked here because of the location. The check it was good and the people were friendly. They got us in quick, and gave us the information we needed about the area. For us the room and bathroom were clean. The beds were comfortable, nothing sticking out or hard. The showers worked with no issues and gave us plenty of hot water. The restaurant was nice, the staff were very pleasant and the food was good. The only complaint I would have is there is no fridge or microwave in the room. We would definitely stay here again.

Extremely kind & helpful staff, whether in the restaurant or housekeeping or front desk. The beds are comfy and the shower is great! (Though short to conserve water). It's nothing fancy, it's clean, convenient and charming and the whole area is spectacular. I hope to return again.
