The room was beyond disappointing. The beds are broken down and the most uncomfortable I’ve slept in ever. The shower had a leak so heard dripping water all night. Mini fridge was leaking and got onto our luggage. Requested to check out after 1 night of a 2 night stay due to the poor condition of the room and was denied a refund even though I was told I would receive one. They offered me a new room but the experience was so bad I was unwilling to even look at what else they had to offer. Will never stay here again

From the moment I arrived, I felt right at home. Peaceful atmosphere gave me that true mountain-lodge vibe I was hoping for. My room was spotless, the bed super comfortable, and there were amenities like a mini-fridge and microwave. The location was also very good, close to everything.

Hair in the sink drain and some food particles. It was gross. I don’t mind old building or old furniture or small bathroom as long as they are clean. I got worried on the first few minutes that we went in the room as the power for the AC tripped. The towels were gross. We bought towels in target. There were hairs also stuck in the hair dryer. I’m not going to boom there again.

The pictures of what the rooms look like online nothing close to what we got. The front door looked like it had been broken into and the door lock didn’t even latch or anywhere near closed. The beds were really uncomfortable and stained. Heater did not work

You get what you pay for. Check reviews, look closely at the pictures. If you need a cheap stay in a great location this is it. But do not expect much from the property itself.

The front desk was locked most of the times. So to get the room cleaned or for any service request, you have to call the property manager. The room was enabled for a single day and it has to be renewed everyday if you are staying more than a day. Otherwise rooms are cleaner and spacious. Service staff is helpful and reachable.
