Pros:

The staff was wonderful. Very friendly and helpful. Nice breakfast. Walkable to the main strip. We saw bears every night we were there and that was pretty cool. The plumbing is a little slow for the shower drain and the toilet, the room was clean except there headboard needing a really good dusting. Bathrooms were clean. It quiets down between 9:30 and 10:30, so not bad at all. We felt completely safe and really enjoyed our stay and will definitely return. Although I do think that parking should be included in the rate

Pros:

Very adequate hotel for a 1-night stay to go hiking. GREAT location (you can duck off the main road before going through the main area), beds comfortable, good shower pressure and clean enough. Walls and doors are pretty thin. Breakfast is nothing special but good enough for some fuel to start the day. Staff was very friendly and nice. Bonus - covered parking but spaces are very narrow.

Pros:

The hotel is in a great location. Everything was very clean in and around the hotel. Pool with a slide and hot tubs were great! Parking is $15 per vehicle/per room/per night in the covered parking lot on site. For extra vehicles you will pay $15 per vehicle/per room/per night at an off site gravel lot.

Pros:

Old facility and it shows, the parking is a nightmare. Leaking, dirty, very low and hard to navigate garage. Elevator is slow, so often jammed with people. Even the TVs are old and vibrate when the audio is on. Staff was friendly, seemed under staffed. Breakfast was great, that's a bright spot. Pool was old but also fun with lots of kids, I would say that was the best part of our trip. I will never stay here again.
