This hotel offers excellent value for the price. One of the best features was access to the rooftop hot tub and sauna at Canoe hotel right across the street — a relaxing way to unwind, especially with the mountain views. The property was quiet and clean, which made for a comfortable stay. It’s within walking distance to town, and the complimentary bus tickets were a helpful added convenience. The in-room coffee kit was a thoughtful touch, and the staff were friendly and easy to deal with throughout. Overall, a solid choice if you’re looking for good value and a few nice extras.
