The concierge, Neil, was outstanding. His knowledge, efficiency, patience & friendly personality made our 5-day trip effortless. Check-in & check-out were a breeze. The location was perfect. We never needed to move our car until it was time to check out. Walkability to shopping, restaurants, & trails was perfect. Highly recommend the trail to the Bow River Falls!! Also highly recommend Farm & Fire (dinner) & Toulooloo’s (breakfast)

We checked in on September 6th and until the night of the 10th had problems with our room keys. They were swapped out, still didn't work. A worker was sent to our room and repaired the door lock. The next morning it didn't work again. And to make matters worse, the front clerk told us that evening that "the key worked for us." The next morning it didn't work again, we asked a different front clerk to come up and try it, it wouldn't work for her either. After that we were given one master key to use for the final day and a half. It was bothersome to have to chase down someone to let us into our room, and then also have a worker doubt us about the lock issues.
