"Very happy with Alpine Valley. It’s old but well kept up. Very clean, bed was great(a little hard for my short wife) but the bed was very comfortable. Our room could use a new light fixture in the bathroom as it was dim. We will stay there again and recommend it to friends."

"The rooms and all common areas were clean. The staff were very nice. The coffee shop made delicious lattes and the staff were quick to make the drinks. The downside of the visit was not being able to get water after check-in. After dropping the bags in the room, there were no attendants at the desk and there were no vending machines. The coffee shop was closed so no water could be purchased. There was also only 1 cup in the room but there were 2 of us."
