    stunning view
    disruptive noise

    A warm and cozy escape

    Waking up to a fabulous view of the mountains each morning was incredible. The hot tub was a perfect way to unwind after a day of exploring.

    However, the noise from the hallway was disruptive at night. It seemed like every conversation was audible, making it hard to get a good night's sleep.

    excellent location with room for improvement

    The location is perfect for exploring the center. The buffet breakfast offered a good variety of choices.

    The room felt a bit outdated in style.

    delicious breakfast
    central location
    dog-friendly vibe
    rude staff
    unclean room

    Oh man, you gotta try the breakfast here, it was delish! Plus, the location is super clutch, right downtown with plenty of eateries. The dog-friendly vibe was a bonus, our pup was spoiled with a cozy bed and toys!

    But hold up, the check-in was a bit of a train wreck—rude staff and a dodgy debit machine. The room wasn’t the cleanest either, with some hair and questionable marks around.

    spacious suite
    fireplace comfort
    relaxing sauna
    hallway noise

    The King Suite I stayed in was spacious with a nice fireplace and a huge bathroom, which made my stay super comfy. I also took advantage of the sauna and hot tub, perfect after a long day of exploring. The only downside was some noise from the hallways, but it didn’t ruin my experience at all. 😊

    spacious room
    decent breakfast
    noisy units

    The comfort of the Superior King Room shines with a spacious design and a solid shower experience. Breakfast offers a decent variety, featuring both hot and cold options, enough to fuel adventures in the outdoors.

    However, the noise from the heating unit disrupted sleep, and the hot tubs aren’t quite up to par, with weak jets despite decent temperatures. Thin walls led to an early wake-up from hallway commotion, with guests and carts rolling by. Accessing the lower parking garage requires navigating stairs, which isn't ideal for those with gear or strollers.

    comfortable location
    relaxing hot tub
    lack of air conditioning
    uncomfortable sheets
    limited cooling options

    The location is fantastic, providing easy access to local attractions and a warm underground parking option. The hot tub was a great way to unwind after a day of exploring, but the sheets were not up to par for comfort. Although the supplied fan helped, there was no air conditioning, which made for an uncomfortable night during warmer temperatures. The breakfast included was a nice touch compared to other stays.

    comfy bed
    great location
    dimly lit
    poor breakfast

    Things I wish I knew before I tried it

    The location is undeniably unbeatable, steps away from shops and eateries! While the bed was luxuriously comfy, the room felt a bit dim. Watch out for the breakfast. it lacked variety and quality. Enjoyed the warm hot tub and sauna, but parking can be a challenge during peak hours.

    poor lighting

    I loved the cozy atmosphere and the free breakfast was a real treat—fresh pancakes! The only downside was how dark the room felt, even with all the lights on. Overall, enjoyed my stay! 😊
