Well appointed

Very clean and spacious. I loved the kitchenette that included plates, bowls, glasses, mugs and silverware. The bathroom was huge and I loved that the bedroom had a door.

Spacious, clean suite with kitchenette

Spacious suites with stocked kitchenette and large bathrooms. Free breakfast was minimal, but having our own kitchen and coffee pot made it perfectly convenient. Clean and comfortable, great value for the price and good location. Will definitely stay here again.

Great hotel but bed not so much

Very clean and friendly staff. Beds were a bit hard. I like a firm bed but it was really hard and not that comfortable.

Newer, no frills place

If you are looking for a reasonable price and a kitchenette but can forgo having amenities like breakfast, pool, hot tub, lobby, and Elevator this is right for you. It may have been the specific room but it felt like lots of extra space that didn't seem well utilized.

I loved having a kitchenette! This location was convenient for my snowshoe adventures as well. The Maasto Hiihto and Chassel trail systems are an easy drive from here and both excellent venues.
