Stayed here probably near 50 times in the last 10 years—such a chill welcome place, close to all the fun and surrounded by the National Park. A trail runners/hikers paradise.

Cozy little place
It’s a cute little hotel that could use some updating but we were very happy with the customer service and it’s tucked away from the craziness of bathhouse row. But still so close to walk. It gives such cozy feel. Would definitely stay again.

Clean, comfortable beds/linens, outdoor seating and convenient to walk to restaurants and bathhouses. The Terrace walkway entrance was just 1/2 block away and was a perfect quiet stroll to the other side of the bathhouse row.

My husband and I loved our cozy room and felt so relaxed in this great community. The room had everything we needed! I loved the extra touches like ceramic coffee mugs and eco friendly toiletries. Bed was soooo comfortable...we were walking distance to town and the mountain. Great value and such an attentive and helpful staff. We are coming back soon!
