9.2/10 Wonderful! (270 reviews)
Very small, ok for overnight, was very clean,location is close to sights. Traffic verry heavy and noisy all night. No back yard, all flooded and dingy and outdoor trash can had trash all around. If it wasn't as clean as it was, we would of checked out. Who ever does cleaning service, you should keep them.

9.4/10 Exceptional! (1,000 reviews)
Hotel Clemons was an absolute delight. It has the amenities of a traditional hotel but with extra living space. The two bedrooms and two bathrooms was perfect for our dynamic. Incredibly clean and so trendy. Highly recommend.

Verified traveler

A great trip and experience. I highly recommend thus trip and the staff is attentive and friendly. The atmosphere of the train will take you back in tune. The river and mountains were gorgeous to see and Copperhill offered great dining and shopping.

2/5 - Disappointing

Verified traveler

Make sure you find out the schedule and days open. After all the trouble finding it because the signs posted at intersections were misleading, we get there and find out they were closed that Monday and Tuesday and were only running twice a day.

5/5 - Excellent
