Shuttle service was quick and friendly. To get to the room you had to take elevator to 2nd floor, then to end of hallway, outside across a catwalk around three sides of the next building outside and then carry luggage down two different sets of short stairs to get to the room at the end of that building. All while carrying all your luggage and backpacks.

We booked in the economy rooms that looked nothing like the photos on the web. The beds had sagging spots, the toilet was leaking on the floor, the key cards would not work. Very unpleasant room. To upgrade to a nice clean newer room they made me pay 250.00 extra for one night. The only nice rooms are in the main lodge, other than that…I would not recommend staying here unless you are in the main lodge.

Fairly decent facility. Toilet wasn't stable, but usable and room was clean. Check in was smooth, very accommodating for us as we were able to check in 30 minutes early. Check out was a less than pleasant. Attendant at front desk was very rude as we asked some questions about the airport shuttle and retrieving our fish from their freezer. She was not a happy person, so I'm glad we were checking out and didn't have to worry about it.

The hotel is very well managed and offers a comprehensive continental style breakfast starting at 5am. The staff was very attentive despite some challenges with room key readers. An amazing Italian restaurant is within walking distance. Great jumping off point for our fly fishing group!

I ended up staying 2 nights here this trip. Very clean and reasonable hotel for the area. Staff were excellent! The airport shuttle service is wonderful! Picked me up first night and dropped me off to get rental car the next morning. I’m pretty picky and would definitely stay here again.

It was only one night but we were placed in the annex with a room barely big enough for a bed and desk. Sink with no shelf was in main room , windows facing a maintenance room , sort of sketchy neighborhood. Next time I’ll stay elsewhere

This property, is being updated, however even the updated rooms are bear bones. Given the cost i would most likely stay at a main line hotel chain of which the are several. For best bang for your buck go elsewhere.

This is an older hotel with multiple buildings. You may not be staying in the building you check into and might have to carry luggage quite a way. The area it is located in is a lower class, noisy, busy area. We saw a handful of restaurants within walking distance but I wouldn’t walk after dark in this area. There’s a gas station/mart to purchase things in. It is like 5-8 minutes from the airport and has a 1 shuttle every 30-1hr daily. There is a lake nearby to watch small planes land on! Employees were friendly and helpful!
