5/5 Excellent
"Wonderful establishment!! Very clean, comfortable size balcony. In room, affordable dining. Great 2nd Floor restaurant area. The view faces East, and you can catch a great sunrise coming over the top of the nearby adjacent mountains. Staff was extremely friendly and accomodating. You'll really like it!!!! NOTE: Depending on which direction you're coming from, there's a bridge being replaced, so you might have to go around thru the small tunnel"
