Okay

There are not many hotels in this area so this was it. The internet was not working so I used my phone's hotspot. The mattress was not real comfortable. Someone tried to get into my vehicle during the night but the alarm scared them off.

10/10 Exceptional

OMG, this property makes me rethink any other I had rated 5 stars: this is exactly what a hotel stay should be. Quaint and comfortable with lounging areas, fire pit/grilling area, vintage and very well-maintained rooms, a pool in season, and a reworked school bus as a free Continental breakfast spot. It's amazing and a testament to this community that a town of 664 can have this place and it be so wonderful. Definitely coming back to stay here and check out the canyons too!
