Booked a premium room through *******. When we arrived we were NOT provided the room we booked but a standard room instead. The front desk person confirmed we were in the wrong room. We requested a refund of the price difference but the front desk person said we had to reach out to ******* and the manager. I left my contact info with the clerk who said the manager would reach out to us but she never did. ******* just messaged and said the manager would not approve our refund! So...we paid for something we did not receive. Not only was it the wrong room, but the bed was hard, the walls are super thin (could hear people talking next door and above), there was an adjoining door missing the door knob with plastic paper stuck in place, and gum stuck on the top of the nightstand. Will never stay at this property again.

Don't let the views on the internet fool you. It's tricky driving into the lodge. Our room was small and the noise from the room above us was loud. Not all the jets in the hot tub worked. There's no closet to hang your clothes and hardly room for your luggage. No clock on the side table by the bed to tell time; the closest time is across the room and small on the microwave. The towels feel like sand paper - so rough! The pillows are flat and the mattress sounds creaky whenever you sit on the bed or move. We will never stay here again. And we paid over $200 for one night.

The price was low, but the bed was uncomfortable, the microwave perched on a small fridge and there was limited lighting in the room. Bathroom very small and had very little shelving. Shower was hot enough with good pressure. The motel is perched on a hill, so it was tricky parking. Breakfast starts at 7 but we left both mornings before that. Thank goodness there was a Starbucks nearby. I would not stay here again.

Pros: - friendly staff - clean and spacious room - quiet room - no traffic noise - free parking - nice surroundings with a little pond - close to the city center (within walking distance) Cons: - breakfast was not replenished in a timely manner Info: Safeway supermarket is only round about 300m away.

Very peaceful and great location. The room was spacious & clean. We had a great time during our 3 day stay. Breakfast is very minimal but it will get you started. We loved the seeing the elk both in the morning and evening. We would definitely come back and safe again.
