Feel like a victim of a bait and switch. Booking was "Honeymoon" King and photos on web were a far cry from the room. Several safety concerns about tub as access was elevated about a foot up and not grab bars or anti skid to prevent injury due to fall. Property as a whole has seen a ton of TLC recently...paint, doors, etc. JUST NOT AS PRESENTED ON LINE.

Good clean hotel. Very cozy. Beds are soft and water pressure is good. Other reviews talked about outside being dated but I liked it. Would definitely stay here again. Close to downtown and can walk everywhere was a plus.

We enjoyed our stay; the unit was clean and comfortable. It was a short walk to downtown and a short drive to the national park. Some minor cosmetic improvements could be made.

Very nice having fireplace, friendly helpful staff. They did have a facilities malfunction that left us without power, but things happen, they communicated it very well and easy to get in contact with for concerns, refunded the days we couldn’t be there, had to find another hotel. But they handle the situation very well!

The room was really nice. It was clean and smelled good. It was perfect for a one night stay for us to lay our heads. It had been updated and looks good. The concrete outside definitely needs repair and so does the concrete on the stairs BUT it wasn’t that big of a deal. The staff were polite and very helpful. Welcoming! We will be staying again because the location was perfect for us. A block down from the strip and quiet. Felt safe and not concerned with walking.

It does have a working gas fireplace in the rooms. I loved that. The staff were very friendly. The property is close to activities, dining and shopping. It was nice not having to get my car out every time we needed to out. Felt very safe there and walking at night. The only small thing I wish they would add is the flooring is some kind of manufactured plank flooring so a rug under the beds would b nice. It made noise when you turned over in the bed. The beds were comfy though.
