Relaxing Family stay.

Such a beautiful area. While an older property it has so much to offer. The river view balcony is absolutely beautiful, trolley stop right outside the gates, mountain coaster, gas station, liquor store & hill Billy golf across the street. You’re .5 mile away from all the main shopping. However, the free trolley will take you to where you need to go. If you’re lucky your will get Ruthie the trolley lady, she’s the best if you have kids! Sing alongs while riding through the mountains. The pool area needs an upgrade and I’d love to see pancakes instead of waffles, oh the toaster needs upgrading. Last two things. The housekeeping is amazing they made my son’s bed even folded his cozy blanket. The man that works evening helped make a fire for us with anything he could find. He sure needs a raise! He chopped up wood himself and even made kindle since it’s been raining all week. Definitely worth the stay.

I thought this property would be quiet b/c it;s a little further from downtown but still walkable.However it must be near a fire station or hospital b/c all night long lots of vehicles with sirens went by. They also charged us a $10 environmental fee that was not shown when I booked the hotel and that really made me question my decision to stay there.

Too Expensive for What you Get

Rooms need to be updated. Floor was peeling in several places. No iron and ironing board. Would like to see a shower in the rooms. The staff was very friendly and helpful (except for the lady doing the breakfast area).
