"Very dirty room, friendly staff, good breakfast"

3.0

The towels and shower were clean. The staff in the restaurant is very friendly, diner was okay. Breakfast was good! We’ve got an excellent tip to go the Brunner mines with a very nice walk and visit the Coal Creek. It was fantastic!

The smell! It smells yeasty and definitely not fresh! The inner curtains are very dirty (yeast) the windows and frames are very dirty and spider webs are present. The bed cover is dirty also the carpet!! The heater is the room is dangerously, it is not secured very well and definitely very old! Idea is to invest for a good upgrade of this room….. price-quality was out of proportion!
