“One of a very few hotels that are in town. The room wasn’t cheap but no hotels in town have cheap rooms. Had availability and allowed dogs which was very important aspect for us. The room was older but properly maintained, there was a fan and a heater in the room, the beds were comfy and smelled nice. The lady checking us in was very nice and even showed us where the room was. Parking is plentiful. For one night it was a great choice!”

“PET FRIENDLY!! Had a great stay, people and service were extremely nice. The hotel itself was very well looked after. However I had a battle in the night with a spruce beetle. Don’t know how he got in the door was shut the whole time but it was very startling while I was woken up. Overall a good resting area and very good pricing. I will be returning.”

“This was a nice hotel overall. You should get the keys at Andrea’s, which is open all night. The hotel is very convenient and dog-friendly.”
