We stayed here when we were on a road trip to see the national park. For the price I was shocked at how great this place was. It’s an older hotel but very clean. The girl at the front desk was very nice. Breakfast the next morning was just fine. I would absolutely stay here again. We were in the off-season and it was absolutely cheap! I don’t know what it would be during the busy season, but I would definitely stay here again.
