The interior of this hotel has been recently redone with tile floors and has a very European feel. I love that there is shelving - like an entire bookshelf - in the bathroom area for storing all of your travel gear and suitcases. When I checked in, they gave me a little brochure explaining how to use the room amenities along with QR codes for the websites to nearby attractions. I think one of my favorite things is that the room came with a softsided cooler that could be filled up with bottled water and ice in the lobby to take hiking. High altitude can really dehydrate you, so I love it that they are taking care of the physical well-being of their guests. Comfy bed and quiet. Cute place. Will definitely stay here again.

Liked: Staff & service
Staff seem to be a little bit clueless. Bed was very comfortable, but the room itself specifically the bathroom didn’t feel the most cleanly. Mostly just age, but you can definitely see some mold growth and the grout in the tile has had better days.

Disliked: Amenities
Positives: modern lobby, spacious suite room w/ obvious updates, staff friendly. Negatives: unable to check us in on time, offered 20% discount but not given at checkout as said manager would take care of later, my friend and I both fell from chairs breaking in the room as they were falling apart, asked for room to be serviced one day and didn’t so took down trash myself and got fresh towels the 4 days we were there. My cousin got call from mgr and told her she could checkout for cursing at her staff and then realized she called wrong person. My cousin’s room had to be recleaned upon checkin as hair everywhere and sliding door wouldn’t lock. Website says free breakfast offered and half time no coffee and it was a few pastries and apples left out. While in lobby, Staff on phone with other complaints from guests. Not within easy walking distance of shopping as edge of town and on highway.

After first day staff disapeared. We were left alone on site except for a fill in worker who knew nothing about property and had no access to anything. No coffee, breakfast area worker disappeared leaving only stale, old food. Shower soap empty. No one to ask for more. Front desk staff completely disappeared. No explanations no appologies. We were left to fend for ourselves. Had to buy breakfast off site. Terrible stay, felt cheated
