Coachman Inn

Coachman Inn

8/10 Good
"I stayed here a year ago and kept my MTB in my room. Returned a year later and keeping bikes in the room is no longer allowed. Currently you just keep your bike locked in a maintenance room. The door is a hollow core door. Extremely easy to brake into. No claim ticket offered and any and all people with a โ€œbikeโ€ can enter the maintenance room. Not to be snobby, but I donโ€™t have a great feeling of security when anybody can walk in there with a Walmart bike and potentially walk out with my $8k bike. Better security measures need to be taken. This is a MTB destination and it should be a top priority. Iโ€™m sure somebody made a mess in a room and I can understand staff wanting to avoid a mess but high dollar bikes need to be treated as such. If security measures arenโ€™t stepped up, Iโ€™ll just have to stay somewhere else. Other than this one complaint, the hotel and staff are wonderful."

"We have no complaints about our 2 day stay. Other than the nice gentleman who checked us in, I didnโ€™t really need to communicate with staff about any concerns. The room was clean and beds and pillows were comfortable. The setting options of the air conditioner was perfect. I had a problem with the TV/remote system but once I could turn it on I saw a lot of channels to choose from, so many more channels than Iโ€™ve experienced in many other hotels. The breakfast choices are basic but I was happy to find some yogurt without artificial sweetener, or sugar but it had fruit in it so it was nicely sweetened with 16g of protein! Thatโ€™s a bonus for me who wants protein in the morning not carbs:) Our checkout was fast and we were on our way back to Canada. I would recommend this hotel."
