“This place strikes me as a practical choice for families, even those with pets, who want a reasonably priced stay; the breakfast is reportedly fresh, and the staff accommodating. While the rooms might show their age, the quiet atmosphere and extras like borrowable sleds for the nearby White Sands add definite appeal. In my opinion, its strengths lie in service and value.”
