Room was our smallest of the whole trip but really nice and clean. The lobby area is very nice and perfect for relaxing in. Some of the buildings need a coat of paint but interiors are very nice. Scenery around the hotel is very nice.

The staff at the front desk is very friendly. The restaurant at the hotel is an excellent option if you want to stay warm and relax at dinner time. The hotel is clean but needs a few renovations. Definitely recommend the stay. The hotel is in a very remote and quiet location.
