Stayed during an overnight trip in a recently updated room. The manager and staff were friendly, the room was clean, and the pool area was enjoyable as well. Access to the area’s surrounding snowmobile trails could not have been any more convenient. Will certainly be booking a room again.

Check-in was great. The staff member was friendly, knowledgeable about the area etc. and was kind enough to make restaurant recommendations. The hotel looked well kept from the outside. The room we had was neat & clean. The shower was great. There was soap, shampoo & conditioner and a hair dryer. Also, lots of fluffy towels. Our air conditioner did not work, but I am sure it would have been fixed if we notified the front desk. We just opened the window. There was coffee & tea after 8 a.m. but no food (cereal, bagels, toast etc.) Most of the hotels were we have paid that price have had something for breakfast.

We had an excellent time here. Room was clean and comfortable, shower was hot, and location was perfect! 5/25 update: room was certainly in need of updating. Overall, cheap enough for the area, but you have to be willing to overlook some things. Mildew in the shower (ceiling), window not opening, noisy neighbors. Really, no biggie. Again, Overall it was clean and comfortable. People who own/run the place are excellent. We'll be back

Clean, cute decor, quick and friendly check-in. Location is just outside the main strip which is how we prefer to stay as it keeps the location quieter and easy in/out. Slept comfortably, no noise issues. Didn't visit the pool, but it looked very nice.
