convenient location downtown
Was brief just an overnighter was surprised no one was there for check in around 6pm had an envelope taped to front door with my name and a key in it which was a little disturbing should someone else just walk by and get my key and receipt for the stay. Left next morning around 6:10 and still no one in office and no place to leave key. Went back to room and left key in the room

Perfect location to downtown. Literally right there. This is one of those hotels where you get what you pay for. Staff was fine, our key was taped to the lobby door when we got there because they closed early so that was convenient, room wasn’t the cleanest, but was ok. Bring your own blankets as theirs are thin and old. Perfect perfect location, walkable to the village and downtown. Overall would stay again if working with a budget, but don’t expect anything nice here.

I love Mountain House Inn. Everytime I have stayed here the room was clean and the beds are comfortable. The staff is super friendly. The bathroom is always clean and have plenty of towels. I will be staying here again. My family also loves this hotel.
