This was a good, affordable place to stay. It's not far from anything but slightly away from the main strip which ends up being super nice. Beds are nice and clean and you will have deer outside of your windows frequently! They also have a cool building separate from the hotel part where you can host a small wedding. Minimal parking but there is some around the building.

The positive things about this place are that it's clean, spacious, close to everything and the staff were very nice. The noise levels on the other hand were so bad that I will be leaving tonight instead of tomorrow as I cannot go another night without sleep. I had a room on the main floor and between the people beside me, above and all the people who are quite loud outside, it's too much, even after the very nice lady at the front asked them repeatedly to be quiet. Will be looking for quieter accommodation on my next trip

If I could give ‘0’ stars, I would. This place was filthy dirty. It’s not a hotel. It’s a worn down dorm room (at best). To start, the bathroom shower was incredibly tiny. I can come to terms with showering and not be able to turn around, but there was a dirty toilet plunger (black and wet) half on the cotton shower curtain next to the toilet (that’s how small the space was). The smell. The smell was brutal. No phone either, so if you need something your best bet is to scream...and there was a lot of that heard. Attempted to sleep, but was contastly being nibbled on. While I don’t believe it was bed bugs, there were definitely little insects sharing my bed with me. A man was roaming the hall asking me AND my kids for salt (over and over again as if I suddenly started carrying condiments and/or drugs on me). The lady walking up and down the stairs carrying a toaster asking for bread was a little frightening. Door was knocked on throughout the night...was too afraid to answer. We survived it, I guess that’s enough for 1 Star, but that’s it. We left immediately the next morning (although scheduled another night). Wouldn’t recommend it unless you’re a backpacking flower child with no sense of smell.

Excellent location. Fair prices, with all profits going to a great cause. If you're ok with shared washrooms and basic rooms, it's really a great pick.

Clean affordable and friendly! We had an awesome stay. Great location as a base for our hikes in the park.
