8.8/10 Excellent! (371 reviews)
Nice location by a walking path. Felt safe/secure. Free parking during stay. Near bear area- don’t plan to leave food in car. Had a bit of a view of the lake from the patio. Be aware that patio is accessible to neighbors’ kids/pets since lower part is open. Front desk open until 9:30-ish. No one present later as expected.
