the property was exactly like the pictures but there were some minor issues that were visible. the hallway ceilings were caving in , there was no latch on the chain to the door (we couldn’t secure the room door to our liking) , the led lights were broken( we could only turn on the small lights over the bed), room seems it was just recently used and decorated due to pieces of tape still attached to the ceiling, and the shower was leeky , with no pressure (it’s a double head shower and only the front shower head had some pressure). Overalll it’s in a good location, good price , just needs a good cleaning .

Not a good place to stay

The room was large which was nice but there was mold all over the bathroom. The bed in the large room was way too hard. No elevator. No one at the front desk. No one refilling the breakfast food. No milk.

The staff really appeared like they didn’t want to be there. Took a personal call in lieu of checking us in. Further there were no extra pillows and the ones on the beds were so small and flat. The following morning the breakfast area was limited with choices. The same staff from The previous day who had checked us in told us she had been gone for three weeks and that nobody taught her how to make the waffle batter and therefore she wasn’t gonna put any out. She did go so far though to put out the syrup.

The room was fairly clean. The bed was comfortable. The " dining area" was not kept as clean as it could have been. The pool was fine. The pool area was not real clean, and the hot tub could have been cleaner and hotter. Now I understand why it was so cheap. Would I stay there again.....NO! There are much nicer places in the area.

Decent bargain stay, couch and hot tub

Above average size room with 2 queen beds and extra sofa and table area. A tiny outdoor balcony for each room, but not much use in January winter weather. But the pool and hot tub came in handy after a couple days skiing nearby. Breakfast was minimal. Only bad thing was someone else’s food from a previous stay left in microwave in our room, apparently not cleaned between visitors.
