We just needed a place to sleep. We weren't there much. It was 2 minutes from our first event, so that was great. The bed was fine. The water is from a well, so we weren't used to the taste. The staff was outstanding. It was perfect for our needs.

I didn't expect this modest hotel to be so nice. The rooms smelled fresh and we could open the window to allow in the fresh air (a plus for us). It was extremely quiet despite being full capacity. We received coupon for discount on breakfast and really enjoyed the local eatery. I would stay again.

Nice and reasonably affordable
My wife and I took a trip up North for our anniversary. The motels in Frankfort where expensive. We decided to stay at the Alpine in Bear Lake which was about 20 miles from our destination. It was much more affordable and was surprisingly nice. We would stay again.
