The place was clean with a retro style look, the most comfortable pillows I've ever used. Quiet place with plenty of food choices nearby. Just a few minutes away from the dark sky park.

The room and bathroom were so adorable and very clean! I oftentimes have anxiety about staying somewhere out of fear it will not be clean, but this place exceeded my expectations. It had a cute and functional coffee machine which was so nice. I am for sure coming back one day!

If your looking for a comfortable bed and fairly clean but updated room this is the place for you. Otherwise, floors were dirty (sandy) and housekeeping left a dirty towel hanging on the back of the bathroom door. (Gross) Pool didn't even have water in it so was not open even though website and Expedia says it is. I would be hard pressed to stay here again.

Great place to stay, remote access, only issue i found was how short and cheaply made bed frames. The mattress was awesome, it was memory foam. Clean room, great staff (on the phone)
