"My wife and I just completed a two night stay at the Alpenhof Lodge. We love the location and easy in and out. The room was nice, clean, and comfortable. Checking in and out was a breeze. The cleaning staff was very nice and when we asked for additional tissue they grabbed us another box immediately. We will definitely be staying at the Alpenhof again."

"Impressive size condo living room, kitchenette and dining area with nice layout. Bathroom size is tight but acceptable for single user (versus couples sink or separate shower from toilet). Very large beds that are very comfortable. Overall room very tidy and nice. Hallways, elevators and carpets are very dated however and can use a refresh."

8/10 Good
"My room was spotless, as were the grounds. My room was TINY - barely big enough for a bed. I traveled with just a small dog. It would have been very cramped for two people. So, room size was a drawback. On the plus side (beside its cleanliness). the complimentary buffet breakfast was SUPERB. (Anybody who says differently needs their head examined. ) There are only 15 units in the motel, but it offers a bvffet that beats the daylights out of big chains."
