In-Depth Information
The rooms here are spacious, and even though they resemble your garden-variety
American motel chain, with pine furniture and colored, fire-retardant bedspreads, the
Tyrolean goes above and beyond with some nifty decorating features. Each room is
slightly different, featuring accents such as fire-engine-red kitchenettes, stone fireplaces
and dark-wood paneling behind the two queen beds.

One of two tasteful good-value properties across from each other on the edge of
downtown. The owners re-do the rooms every spring, which means parquet floors, fresh
paint and lush linens. It's all very mod and Ikea-ish but with an upscale slant. Some rooms
are huge with fireplaces and massive hot tubs. Online deals lower the rates. Breakfast in-
cluded.
