8.8/10 Excellent! (1,598 reviews)
This property is in a great location. Walking distance to everything. Bike and rafting place right across the street. 10-minute walk to the Glennwood Cavern Adventure Park gondola. Rooms were clean and comfy. Fridge and microwave in the room. They don't tidy the room daily which is a bummer but not a deal breaker. I like having the bed made daily. The only thing we didn't like was the breakfast. It was pretty sad. There is lots of room for improvement. I had cereal the first day and the milk was warm. We ate breakfast elsewhere the following two days. Theres a Bavarian restaurant in the parking lot which is pretty good and bakery down the road that has really good cinnamon rolls and ham/cheese croissants. Theres a doughnut shop opening soon on the corner which looks really good. We checked out early the last day so we could enjoy the hot springs before catching the 2 pm train. The office was very friendly and stored our luggage for us until it was time to go. I would definitely stay here again.
