Clean, clean and clean. Owners are beyond friendly, charming and will do their best to make your stay enjoyable!!! THE most important thing for me when traveling: clean rooms and a nice bed. Elk Mountain is clean as it gets and the mattresses are super . There are laundry facilities steps from the rooms. The rooms vary in size and layout. The rooms Ive had were beyond spacious. Everything in the room worked as it should . The showers are what I wish I had at home. Very nice showers!! Temp and pressure are gold. For the anglers: a five minute walk brings you to some of the prettiest magazine cover trout water. Start from the bridge and work your way into town. I cant say enough about the place. Convenience stores and restaurants are a short walk. Ill be back for again and again for sure. Anglers and hunters - there is ample space in the rooms for gear. Elk Mountain does not play games with weekend rates!!!! Thank you EMI !

Very pleasantly surprised. Older hotel, but it was clean and everything worked. The reason I took the time to review it was the staff. Michelle at the front desk was a delight. She recommended the restaurant attached, and she was right. Wait staff there were also very friendly. Food was great. 6 stars for great people.

The staff is amazing! I came in town to help fight the wild fires and the manager helped me get a room last minute. She was very nice and extremely helpful! The hotel itself is also nice, they have good size showers and friges, as well as ice maker and washer machine! Highly recommended!

Stopped in for a shower late in the evening after a week of hunting. Owner came from the Sheepdog Competition to get me hooked up. Super friendly lady. Shower room was clean. Clean towel, wash cloth, and a bar of soap was provided.
