My stay at the hotel was absolutely delightful! The location is superb, right on the main street and close to the lake. The rooms were clean and comfy, and the service was top-notch with housekeeping doing an excellent job. However, the dining options were a bit limited, and the sweet cakes were a highlight. The facilities were great overall, offering a pleasant experience.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! It's incredibly close to the Snow Summit ski slopes and just a short walk from the downtown area. The main street location made everything so convenient. The rooms were incredibly comfortable, but there were some noise issues. The service was exceptional, especially the housekeeping. The dining experience was fantastic with delicious organic food. The facilities were top-notch, but the price was a bit high for what was offered.
