We LOVE the Alpine. It's in a quiet location and the staff are wonderful! The rooms are always spotlessly clean.
The Alpine is no-frills, but that makes it nice. Just a quaint, quiet place to relax in a spacious, clean room. The staff are friendly and courteous and We've stayed there twice now, and both stays were excellent. Much better than in one of the "brand name" hotels.
