We loved the hotel's prime location just outside the park, making it incredibly convenient for early hikes. The staff was friendly and always willing to help, and the facilities, like the hot tub and pool, were a much-appreciated way to unwind after a day of exploring. The restaurant offered tasty meals, and having breakfast options available in the store was a real bonus.
