Great Hotel at a great price
I love Mountain House Inn. Everytime I have stayed here the room was clean and the beds are comfortable. The staff is super friendly. The bathroom is always clean and have plenty of towels. I will be staying here again. My family also loves this hotel.

I wouldn’t stay here again. I arrived later than expected and my key was taped to the window of the office with my name on it. The bath tub looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in weeks. The best thing about the room was that the bed was fairly comfortable. It was one roll of toilet paper in the room and that was half way gone when we arrived and there was no number to dial to get more so we went to the store for toilet paper. It just wasn’t the best choice of place to stay
