Pros:

Good location close to Heavenly Gondola, friendly staff, clean comfortable room, comfy bed, good bathroom. We were in a renovated room. I would stay here again.

Cons:

Just little things - The breakfast was okay, best item was the frozen sausage sandwich but the kitchen needs more than one microwave as everyone was waiting to heat up their sandwich. The walls are a bit thin, could hear our neighbours at times. The bathroom didn’t have anywhere to store toiletries on the sink.

You get what you pay for, I don't feel ripped off, but they could do better.
Pros:

The location was good. Fairly quiet. Plenty of hot water.

Cons:

The first rooms we were given were really small, and had no closet and not a single drawer. We moved to another room that had those things, and the clerk was very accommodating. The A/C was really loud. The mattress was horrible. There was no place in the newly refurbished shower to place your soap. Breakfast was meh, and they were late opening the lobby.

Pros:

La chambre est petite mais fonctionnelle avec une machine à café, un micro-onde et un frigidaire. L'emplacement de notre voiture était à côté de notre chambre, parking gratuit et le plus c'était le petit-déjeuner. Nous avons visité la ville à pied et il y a plein de restaurants aux alentours.

Cons:

Il manquait une 2ème chaise dans la chambre.

Pros:

Švari patalynė.

Cons:

Pradžioje gavome kambarį visai atskiram pastate kur nebuvo jokio užrašo kad jis priklauso viešbučiui, nuvažiavome iki kambario ir pamatėme kad aplink tik darbininkų automobiliai su kranais su kubilais ir kita įranga, aplink labai stipriai buvo jaučiamas "žolės " kvapas. Iškarto paprašėme pakeisti kambarį. Pakeitė, bet deja - vonioje smarkiai lašėjo vanduo per lubas, teko statyti indą vandeniui surinkti..Nepatiko požiūris į klientą.

horrific
Pros:

Absoulty nothing

Cons:

The room carpet was disgusting and had burn holes everywhere(non smoking room). Sheets didnt fit the bed so they kept coming off. No room service for new towels. They put me in an over flow building that had no ice machine or vending machines. You had to walk to the main property to use ice machine or vending machine. Was chased by a bear Saturday night while walking to get some ice. The whole 2 days was a complete nightmare. For what they charged was crazy for a dive motel

good
Cons:

Parking spaces need to be 12" wider (narrow equals low-class). Need to repave and clean-up the exterior grounds and landscaping. Need the bathroom light and mirror raised. Need only queen size beds. Suggest adding 12 more units on backside of room 111. Need to open for continental breakfast at 6:30 AM.
