Guest Rating
Good
Pros +
- The same access to amenities at a much lower rate.
- Centrally located, near a walking trail, reasonable prices, nice rooms
- The front desk all staff there were exceptional. The cleaning staff lady  was one of the exceptional service from the staff cleaning department. I honestly never have seen this kind of service from the check in to the cleaning staff in any other hote
Cons -
- I didn't love the attached room, as I was by myself, and the pillows weren't the best.
- we drove a truck and it was a little hard to park in the lot
- Nothing from the hotel at all

Literally nothing.
It¿s sincerely outdated, and the staff were terrible to deal with. The ¿mountainview¿ room I paid extra for saw nothing but a tree and half a parking lot. Awful hotel.
