After going through hell with customs at the Canadian border took about 6hrs I was left stranded and after walking a he out so I'm the middle of nowhere this hotel was an oasis in the desert the staff were AMAZINGLY kind nice clean rooms no shady people hanging around
Clean, quiet, affordable. We were here in low season which may contribute to the tranquility. And it was foggy lol which obscured the view. Cleanliness really matters to me so it’s a ten out of ten for us.
Nice and welcoming staff, clean rooms and overall great experience, will visit agian
