Over priced. Under served.
Pros:

Breakfast? They haven't served breakfast since COVID.
The lady at the front desk talked nice.
Glad that they have a self-service laundry.

Cons:

It took over 40 hours to fix a broken toilet seat despite four reminders.
Towels were changed upon request. Beds were not made. The toilet bowl, the sink and the tub were not cleaned.

Close to the park
Pros:

Room was clean and comfortable. You’re paying for the location. I was discouraged to see how much the hotel is charging travelers for showers. It’s a service they don’t have to provide but I think their prices on that are stupid.

Rustic mountain lodge at the end of town
Pros:

At first glance the lodge has nice curb appeal, Elk grazing in the back yard. The gentleman at the front desk was informative about all the questions we had about the area and good places to eat. The rooms were very clean, and comfortable. They offer free, coffee, tea, and popcorn. Unfortunately they don’t offer a breakfast, but there are a few local places to eat close by.
