"Great staff"

"we saw the park for a bit but it was closed because of the wildfire"

"Very well taken care of. Kind and helpful staff."

"Great clean room"

"Loved the cosy feel, the pool was great the food was excellent. Need a frequent stay loyalty program."

"Great budget location for exploring and hiking the park. Kitchen gets busy and was missing spoons (common issue in shared kitchens- we had our own so it wasn’t a problem, somewhat dated and mostly clean. Liked the easy self check-in as well. Not a rowdy or loud hostel- we stayed here with our kids in a family room and had a great sleep and stay."

"Good kitchen with stove and microwave but no microwaveable cooking dishes. Good internet and lighting. Hotel is on main road so some truck noise early in the evening. Close to the National park and shops. Compact room but adequate for a couple."

"The room was spotlessly clean and comfortable, despite looking a little tired. It's an older style motel with friendly and welcoming staff, has everything you need and is in a quiet and beautiful location."
