We normally do budget hotels which thankfully are far cheaper than that for where we go. We have to stay (or hire someone to drive our car followed by a taxi to take the driver on) whenever we go into the city since it’s a ~50 minute walk to our station mostly in the dark and in an area with bears.
For people in the city (or nearer stations, I guess), it’s a lot easier than for those of us who live further away.
