The hot tub was very hot and clean. As well as the pool. Its indoor, too. The staff was very friendly and breakfast was hot and good every morning. The room was clean and it is a no smoking facility. The view was awesome and the hotel area was clean and secluded. And an awesome view of mountain rock face. Right at the train tracks but you don't hear the train except in the middle of the day. There is a fire pit and rocking chairs and grills. There is a whole stretch by the river that kids can play in and another firepit and rock seats by the river.
