lisa, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

This place was terrific. Pools were great, nice and clean. Friendly staff. The amenities were plentiful. It is a tad dated, but nothing bad. Would stay again. We loved the in-room whirlpool tub. The fireplace would be awesome in the cooler weather.
Darren, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Walkable to all of the “the strip” as I like to call it, which is super convenient, but it’s far enough away to not feel constantly surrounded by crowds when you’re at your room. Super close to the National Park and easy to access. We saw a bear from our balcony two separate nights which was also super cool.
Natalie, 4-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The rooms were very clean and the bed was comfortable. The staff were really nice and it was a plus that the trolley stopped right in front of the hotel. Would recommend it's a good place to stay.
Tamara, 3-night trip
