"We did love our stay and got pretty much what we expected with the room as it is an older building some things were a little ran down like the sinks but other wise the place was top notch and the added bonus of the Hot springs was awesome and You Can notice repeat you cannot find a better view of the Sawtooth mountains than in the Hot springs tub with the doors open during a rain storm it really was a million Dollar view would definitely come back to hike and bike and fly fish"
