what a great location!
We enjoyed our stay here very much! Parking is not the problem that some other reviewers described. The big Carhenge lot (700 W Pacific Ave) is just a few feet down a sidewalk behind this property. At check-in, they enter your license plate to give you permission to park there overnight, and they give directions for how to drive around to park there. It's a bit of a long way to drive around from the office, but it's not hard to drive there from the main road (down Mahoney Dr to Pacific), and it's almost as easy to load and unload from there as from the small parking lot within the complex, so if you're driving something bigger than a small car, just go to that lot first, then find the little sidewalk along the side under some trees and walk over to check in. When we were there, it was marked with some big plastic tubs. Then you can walk along the river or through the old town to shops and restaurants and various trailheads. The gondola is free public transit and takes you to the top of the mountain or over to Mountain Village on the other side, and is a gorgeous ride! It runs well into the evening, but be aware that it does close for a few weeks in the spring and late fall for maintenance, so check. We were comfortable in our room, but there's not really counter space for meal prep, so plan your meals accordingly, and bring some coffee for the coffee maker. The office offers coffee, but doesn't open until you might already want to be out hiking. I hope we can come back!
