My wife and I stayed for 2 nights for a ski trip. The Inn was very well taken care of and the staff was extremely accommodating. They had our breakfast ready every morning to go with all wonderful food. Our only complaint was our room was close to the road so there was a lot of traffic noise.

The location is perfect. It was close to restaurants and shopping and we had a beautiful room it was clean and very comfortable. The only thing is that a lot of the restaurants and shops are closed on Sunday and Monday.
