There was plenty of parking right at the property. Lots of pubs and restaurants right up the street within walking distance. Certainly nothing fancy, but for a convenient stay it worked for me.

The room is very basic, and my only complaint was that the bathtub faucet was leaking, but it dodo t disturb me in any way. The staff was friendly and courteous. The place is nothing fancy, but you can’t beat the location and price of you want to hit the breweries along Last Chance Gulch and not have to worry about driving under the influence.
