Landmark Inn
The room was clean and both the room and shower were very spacious! Great views of the snow covered area, and the older building style added lovely character. The front desk staff were incredibly kind, helpful and accommodating… especially with the winter storm! Big thanks for those ...

The room was clean quiet and comfortable. I slept great after a long drive. Breakfast was nice although no coffee. I know there’s coffee in the room but I don’t use room coffee makers. Overall I was very satisfied and pleased to stay there. I will stay there again.
