This hotel was perfect for what we were looking for. It is right in town and we could walk to cafes, coffee, etc. The front staff were very nice and so informative of the area. The room was clean but on the small side. It is eco friendly which was also a nice bonus.

Fine place to stay
The hotel was clean and staff were friendly and helpful. The rooms have wood floors, which look nice, but we heard the people in the room above us walking throughout the night. It woke us up throughout the night and was much worse then other hotels where we have stayed.

Thank you for the stay. Try not to stay by the ice machine. People get up early to go hiking and fill up as early as 3 and 4 am. So annoying
