Station House Inn - Near Heavenly Gondola

8/10 Good
"The location worked well for us as it was near the beach (Note it is a private beach that you have to pay to visit-they give you a voucher that makes it cheaper but you still pay). The front desk staff was very nice and helpful although you can tell they are understaffed and could use more help. Love the welcome drinks (A nice craft beer for me and a soda for my daughter) and free Otter Pops on a hot day. The campfire smores (1 night only) was cute but crowded when we were there. There is a restaurant right next store but their hours are limited so check ahead of time-they do have a nice happy hour. The main part that we didn't like was it's old and didn't feel like it ever got a deep cleaning-bring slippers or something for your feet as the carpet seems like it's seen some things!"
