Nice place. This is an older facility, but our room was clean, and we loved looking out our window and seeing the elk wandering around outside.

Gets basics right on facility, not on service
Knew going in that the place would be basic. The main selling point is as a gateway to the ski area. So not disappointed with the facility. The person at the reception though was a study in the kind of personality who should not be interacting with guests. Rude, no knowledge/ not inclined to help with basic local information, dismissive of requests and not even bothered with a sorry when he knocked our door late night and woke us up when he actually had to talk to the folks in the neighboring room. Killed the experience.
