Lions and tigers and lots of bears
Watch out for the bears…the office left our Key on the door when we checked in and no one was there…the guy that worked there was nice but you have to like his sarcasm and sense of humor. I had to change rooms one night into my stay and he ended up Giving me a key card instead of an actual key. I had to bother him To get the key. The place is A bit soon run down. It’s off the strip but you will for sure see bears. I killed some sort of bug in my room definitely wasn’t a bed bug but the rooms need some Updates. It’s nice if you just want to sleep

Close to downtown...and nature!
Great communication and friendly staff. Would definitely stay again. Super easy walkong access to tourist-y stuff downtown. However, DO NOT leave anything edible in your vehicle. Black bears are commonplace in the area (like, in parking lots), and they WILL get into your vehicle if they smell food.
