May visit
Limited options in this area. The rooms are obviously old (staining on walls, bathtub, towels, peeling wallpaper, goles in window screens), but the bed was comfortable enough, there is running water, and a restaurant on site.

I always like to stay at the Mountainview and this was my 4th time there. Great food and service at the restaurant and always clean rooms, but the mattresses really need an upgrade in some rooms.
