Horrible. You will get sick if you stay two nights
Very Heavy comforter. Sweating woke up middle of the night. Can not sleep good. Even turn down the heat to 15. Should have the refund for that one night stay as I didn’t sleep. Horrible experience. I report complaint to the front desk next early morning. No sorry to hear from her.

The property is located in a great location. Extremely easy to access the trails, restaurants and stores. Parking was inconvenient as it was extremely limited. Older hotel but had the basic necessities. Staff were friendly.
