Loved the place but the bed was so uncomfortable, it was impossible to sleep. It felt as if the frame underneath was broken and you just completely sunk into the bed.

The staff at the property was beyond helpful and friendly. The elevator was out at the hotel however it ended up not being a big deal and had minimal impact on our stay. If you’re looking for a deal that offers a clean room to sleep in this definitely fits that. The location was great as everything we did allowed us to walk and miss the traffic in town.

Nice place
Overall, it was a good place to stay. It was clean. Staff was friendly. The view from our room was nice. We had a creek view and a mountain roller coaster ride was across the street. They said a bear comes down, but we never saw the bear. I would stay there again if I visited.
