The good news is that 1) the Alpine Rose is conveniently located and within walking distance to the downtown area, 2) the rooms are clean and simply decorated, and 3) breakfast is limited but fresh and delicious.
The bad news is that 1) the bathroom smells terribly of mildew due to dirty shower curtains, 2) the hosts are pleasant but have only lived in town for several years so they were a very poor resource, 3) the big screen television (which was 15 feet away from the table) was on during breakfast, and 4) guests are expected to sit directly next to each other at the kitchen table while the hosts awkwardly hovered nearby and even more awkwardly tried to spark group conversation.
The location is the best feature of the Alpine Rose. It is on a quiet neighborhood street and only 10 minutes from downtown. With some work, it could be a wonderful place.
