Liked: Staff & service
The good: Great location close to stores and restaurants and right off the interstate. Nice pool. Good price for tourist area. Decent continental breakfast. Staff was friendly. Area and property felt safe. The negatives: Room carpet was dirty plus carpet in the bathroom is a big NO especially in a hotel. No blankets on the bed except the bedspread which doesn’t appear to be washed after each guest. Pillows were small and hard as rocks. We just needed it for one night traveling through the area, and prices of hotels on the weekend in this area were ridiculous. So the Foothills Inn was adequate for our needs.

Disliked: Amenities
The property was clean but dated. The furniture was old, the wood furniture was scratched up and the upholstery frayed. The bed was like sleeping on a bean bag it was so soft. The attendants were polite when spoken to but were not warm and friendly as one would expect someone to be in the hospitality industry. The free breakfast was less than mediocre. The coffee pot in the room was an 8c drip and it and what was offered in the lobby was like dishwater. I don't know what their normal clientele is but there were signs everywhere that in addition to the refundable $100.00 damage deposit charged at check in, there would be an additional charge of $250.00 for 'this type of stain, this type of tear, etc'. As well as a written lengthy explanation of why there is no daily housekeeping offered other than change of towels and trash removal. We were happy enough and enjoyed our outings , but we wouldn't stay here again if in the area.

Not worth the money

The bedspreads were worn snd dirty. There were no other blankets available. The shower drain was clogged and filled up to my ankles. It was a pet friendly hotel with no place for the dog to go outside.

Disliked: Amenities
Old property - looks like grandma's circa 1960 as evidenced by turquoise bathtub anf very old furnishings. Shabby curtains falling off, huge wooden dowell in slider. Bathroom door so warped it wouldn't close. Big stains on carpet. Charged upgrade to switch to ground floor room due to wounded knee and no elevator, and not informed of charge until checkout by VERY brusque desk clerk. Also charged a $10 "Daily Processing Fee" whatever that is!!!
