There were food options provided during our stay. Bed was ok, was squeaky. Would have been nice to have more than 2 pillows per bed like most stays have 4 per bed.

This was our first stay at Inn at the Alpine. We have traveled extensively and this is one of the nicest hotels we have stayed in. The cleanliness of the room certainly exceeded our expectations. The gentleman at the reception desk was very friendly and the check in process was easy. We would highly recommend this facility when visiting the area.

Clean Rooms, Comfortable Beds. Those are my priority. This motel delivered. This is a travel-lodge style motel that is well maintained and scrupulously clean. It’s a no-frills property (but you came up here for the lakes and forest, anyway, right) with friendly staff and comfortable beds. It’s a good location. It’s a very good value. We knew were getting in late. We called ahead and got an entry code for our room. They left the light on. We got advice about the area and a coupon for breakfast at a very nice local restaurant.
