This property is very old , the front desk and management is trying their best. Our experience was not great because of these reasons The room had an issue with AC , we had to open window for the air circulation. But in winter weather it was extremely hard. The parking is extremely difficult here( more rooms than the number of parking spots ) . They ask you to park in no parking area. The smoking alarm used to beep often .

The location is fine. The buildings need to be updated. There was snow on the stairs (long after it snowed) and generally the hotel is not in good condition. The heating system is terrible, antiquated, and dangerous.

Nice stay

We stayed here during a cheer competition. Clean, and easy check in. Walking distance to the other hotels and heavenly village. Our room was above their coffee shop so the first morning we heard everything below us, which I accidently thought it was the room next to us banging. They have a text option when needing to get in touch with them, which made things very easy, and they were very quick to respond. There wasn't an elevator so if you have issues with stairs you will need to request a bottom floor room. My husband and I would stay here again for the price.

I honestly expected more based on the photos online. Granted my kids and I arrives very very late due to bad weather. It was dark and it was my first time so had a hard time looking around for where keys were left and the room. When we got to the room, it had a damp smell. Only stayed 2 nights though and may not have given it enough time to get to know the charm of the place. Other than older room, parking was free and within walking distance to heavenly, shops, and casinos.
