Quite, Convenient location, walking distance to big gondola at Heavenly

Ilya United States of America

Very homey rooms, ironing board and hair-dryer in the room! With Tv, and a safe!! Very satisfied. Good value for money. We loved it.

Danae United States of America

Check in was easy - through a window. The room was clean and we were able to get extra towels since the staff are not servicing the rooms during COVID

Karen United States of America

The location was excellent, basically a block west of Harvey's entrance. I dislike the casino hotel and really enjoy parking directly in front of my room. The check in was quick, easy and the room was fairly large. Had a good sized luggage/equipment closet. Overall I thought this was a solid spot for short stays and provided a good value for prime location.

Howard United States of America

I have been staying here for years. Clean and affordable.

Al United States of America

I was traveling alone ( I’m a 65 year old woman)traveling with a bicycle. I asked to be put near the office, and was. I appreciate that.

Patti United States of America

It was very comfy and very close to everything. We had a great time and hung out at the pool for awhile. Would definitely recommend to others!

Goforth United States of America

The room was very quiet. The refrigerator had a separate freezer. The TV was larger than I've had at other hotels. Access to the private beach close by was nice.

Terry United States of America

Room was huge and clean. Staff was very nice. GREAT LOCATION WAY BETTER THAN THE HOTEL NEXT DOOR.

Alice United States of America

Owners are very nice. Good size fridge, microwave, cute bathroom with shower, tv decent size with good channels, bed comfy, right next to downtown.

Gabe United States of America

Great location!
