It's in a scenic location and quiet. Good breakfast and dinner, The room was warm but a little humid. it was a triple room and the window was right next to a bed head so we keep the window slightly open. maybe it would be better if we kept the window wide open at night.

Nice rooms. The hotel stay includes breakfast with lots of variety. The fresh baked bread was delicious. The hotel is conviently located. The gas station/restaurant across the street serves good food, I recommend The vegan burger! The hike to the glacier behind the property was a unexpected surprise.

Rooms were very tiny. Triple did not have enough space for people and suitcases. Breakfast was very good. Not a great value for the money but not many options in the area.

Room was great! Room was clean, and comfortable. We were in a newly updated room. This place did have the best breakfast compared to the other places we stayed at. It also had a beautiful walking trail.

Small basic rooms which were very comfortable. Ours looked out on the snow capped mountains. Good restaurant for dinner and breakfast. Best part was the trail access from behind the hotel to the glaciers, lakes, waterfalls and wildflowers within walking distance. Loved the location!!!

Breafast menu was fine, but would have like to have seen some dried fruit options as well as better toasters for bread. The rooms were nice and spacious, beds comfortable for a great night's rest, and the bathroom was a better size than most we experienced so you didn't feel like you had to turn in place to move around.
