The view from the giant window at night was absolutely amazing! Since we were away from all the buildings, it felt so quiet and peaceful, yet the night sky was still beautifully lit up. I loved every moment of it! The only little hiccup was that we didn’t realize we had to sign in at the Econo Lodge front desk, which seemed a bit unusual. But overall, everything else was great!

The continental breakfast was not a breakfast at all. There are minimal items to choose from and nowhere to sit and eat. Only 3 small tables and it is right at the front desk. There were 15 people in this tiny area trying to get some coffee and bagels. I'm not impressed by the continental breakfast and area to eat it at all.

Great stay and location!

Our room was huge! It had access to a lovely patio, and walk way over looking the pool. Room seemed to be updated, and plenty of parking. Well laid out too, you’re never to close to the other parties.

A good bit of lady bugs. Not much you can do there. Bed was comfortable and room was spacious. Wouldn’t recommend walking the hill several times a day, but it’s doable. Easy parking and check in. Room was well serviced and timely every morning. Overall, good stay! Would probably book something more directly on the downtown strip next time though.

This property is older but many upgrades going on. Our room was very large with a fireplace. We lived the location on the mountain and even got some exercise walking up and down the hill to town. If you are physically limited, be prepared to drive to town and pay for parking. We had a bear in the back which was fun to watch. The cleaning staff was very accommodating. When we put the do not disturb sign up they still left a bag with towels and necessities outside our door. The one drawback was not having an office on site open. You checked in down the hill at Econo lodge. Hope they plan to open the office eventually. We would love to stay again!!

All good except the sink started to overflow with foam as the commode gurgled. We had to dip the foam out before it got all over the vanity!!!

Really enjoyed staying here. We had a king room with a jacuzzi and highly enjoyed it. The view was great. You are on the side of a hill but they allow you to park at the econo lodge just below it and you can walk anywhere from there. There is also a trolly stop not far from econo lodge. You have to go down there for breakfast as the chalet doesn’t serve it up on the hill which was not a big deal for us. We will definitely be going back. As far as the big situation that was listed previously, there were a couple dead ladybugs and a couple live ones that got in. Which did not bother us at all since ladybugs bring good luck. Plus, it was just a couple and you’re gonna get that being up in the mountains. So once again not as big of a deal as it was made out in a previous post. So, if you’re looking for a place the staff is very friendly and accommodating and the stay was truly relaxing and enjoyable.

Upon arrival, there were both live and dead insects (more than 100) all over the room. Check in was inconvenient; as we arrived at the Chalet property, we found a note to go back down a steep long hill to check in at the Econo Lodge front desk, which was also where they held the included breakfast (Very inconvenient). The room's furniture and fixtures were very dated (1970's), although the bathroom was marginally updated. The staff was pleasent, but were of little help, as they spoke very little English.

The room was located way up on a hill but you hade to check in at the bottom of the hill at a different hotel. There was no mention of this until you drive up there and then there was a handwritten sign. The place was scary , no one around and it was a construction site as well. The room was crummy, The linens were mismatched, no bed skirt exposed mattress, furniture did not match, lamp was broken. It basically looked like a store room for all broken and old furniture at the hotel. There were 3 doors to the room a front door weird back door and door to a balcony, that didn’t have the door locked when we got there. Icing on the cake was a black bear seemed to be stalking our building and parking lot. We didn’t even stay there, we left and got a new room somewhere else, hotel refused a refund but I was out of there! Honestly surprised Expedia puts dumps like this on their website.
