9.6/10 Exceptional! (1,001 reviews)
This hotel is in downtown so close to restaurants and shopping. There doesn’t seem to be any dining options at the hotel itself but plenty nearby. The hotel itself is fine for the area, good rooms, clean place.

Free ~30-minute guided tours at 10am and 2pm! They also have about five trails for you to explore on your own. Favorite part - the cows that you see by the road (and on the road) when driving to this building! I guess the solar panels and wind turbines are also pretty cool. ;)
