"5th time staying at this hotel and we will continue to come back each year! Every year we get a warm welcome when checking in. Despite only coming once a year, we get recognized every time. Rooms are always clean and stocked with basic toiletries and coffee. We’ve had to extend the stay a few times due to getting stuck in snow storms and they’ve were nothing but accommodating and made it super easy to add an extra day at little charge too. Such a convenient location being only walking distance...
