This is a ski and summer property, worn outside from ski boots tromping in and out but the room was clean and the views from the 7th floor are the best! The individual that checked us in was very accomodating. Jacuzzi tub didn't function but I didn't inquire about it, used it as a soaking tub. Make sure to park straight due to the tight spots.

Staff was extremely nice and helpful-however they were doing very loud road construction right outside the hotel- think gravel trucks, grinders, pavers, jackhammering- until 5am. We were not told this upon check in and when we called down to ask about the time they would stop- they knew it was overnight but failed to tell us at check in. The entire room vibrated the whole night. The staff, while apologetic, said the GM said no one would get any refund or compensation. I said I was just upset we were not told so we could make the decision to move to another hotel. We had a very early morning and got zero sleep. As a side note- the beds were very old, could feel bed springs through mattress. I would never stay here again and will be making a complaint to the GM about the lack of respect for not letting people know about construction when they said it’s been going on for days.

Non existent customer service

Rooms are hot. Poor air circulation. Window fan was offered but never delivered. Beds are hard and uncomfortable. They had quarters for someone else but not for us. 3 nights and every night they were working on roads pretty much in front of hotel. Also we couldn’t get room service because we didn’t request it upon check in. On another note Rosie’s has very good breakfast.

Weekend Trip

Great location! Great price point. However you will get what you pay for. There were very few amenities. The pool is not open. There is no free breakfast. It's almost like staying at a motel. But with a great view! Additionally, all of my food went sour in the fridge which I have no idea how that happened. The manager does plan to reach out to me regarding that situation. Also the stairs and railing seem a little bit unsafe. I was on the the 6th floor with under two and it was a little worrisome.

I never leave negative reviews, but this one was well earned. It was terrible. Dirty, dangerous broken steps, gross room, terrible bed. Literally an awful nights sleep. No ac and the in room fan was broken. It was so bad we checked out the next morning and didn’t stay the second night. We were still charged for two full nights. I would never ever go back there. Do yourself a favor and never stay here.

Room was very small. No AC and a simple fan. At top of elevator there was no way to open windows for fan while maintaining privacy. Elevator was old and very dirty. Mattress was horrible. You could feel the springs through the bedding.

The hotel was probably nice in the 1970's, but hasn't been maintained since. Lights burned out, bird poop, terribly weathered, pool filled in with dirt, everything dirty outside, crappie repairs in the room etc. The worst part was the all night jack hammering in the street in front of the property. I talked with the construction supervisor and he said they informed the hotel management 5 days before we arrived and they did not even mention it. Trying to sleep with jackhammering from 9pm to 6 am is not enjoyable on a vacation.

The location of this hotel was excellent! Right in the middle of downtown, very walkable. The rooms were clean and the staff were friendly. This big issue was the condition of the facility. Every common area was dirty, much of it was rusty and crumbling. A little cleanup and update would make this a great place to stay...

Property appears to be in poor overall condition. No air conditioning so our room was hot until about 3am. Did have all the basics....towels, soap, shampoo, etc. Good location. Id probably stay again but normally all im looking for is a place to lay my head and get a shower.
