Great place to stay!

This location was so great! Close enough to walk and enjoy, far enough to be snuggled in the Mountains. The trolley picked up right outside! Very clean and quiet! Lot's of parking and amenities! Great outdoor space as well as indoor seating! It was perfect for our weekend getaway!

4th floor suite. When we arrived, it appeared that housekeeping swept the room floors out to the hallway to vacuum. The same dirt and hairballs were still there 2 days later when we left. It also smelled like a chicken coup. It was hard to sleep due to the kids screaming at the neighboring pool, all night music and then dogs barking. The breakfast sausage gagged me.

Like most hotels now only a microfiber coverlet is provided, which I find too hot to sleep under. Whatever happened to simple blankets? Otherwise our room was large, clean and comfortable.
