Solo budget ski trip
Clean room. Comfortable bed and linens. Slept well. Bathtub was a tad odd, only cold or hot water. Not mixed temp.
Would stay again.

Everyone at the property was super nice to us. We needed a quiet place to stay while hiking for a couple days in the area. It was nice to come back to the hot tubs!
