Dirty sheets!!!! Not a secure door. No staff were present when I checked in; there was a note on the door with my name indicating my room was ready, so I went to my room. Remote did not work. No decaffeinated pods for coffee.

It was an easy check in, but luckily it was within their "window" hours. 3p-5p. So not sure how a late check in would work. The bed was great, room was nice. Great view of the rock if on 2nd floor in the middle rooms of the walkway.

Older shower, but works OK
Very nice towels!

Check in ends at 5pm. I arrived around 6pm. No one was there and i was stuck out in the cold. I detoured 45 mins off course in anticipation of staying there. Waited about 1.5hrs no one showed. Another couple suffered the same fate. Unbeknownst to us special arrangements are required. They claim staff is available 24/7. Apparently not.

Wendy

Location was good, John was amazing, very personable and accommodating. The view was phenomenal, housekeeping cleaned the room well. There was a portable heater provided because there is no in room heater. The breaker tripped while getting ready the 1st day during business hours. Unfortunately it tripped again the evening of the second day at 7p after turning on the heater. We reached out in person and by phone unsuccessfully to get ahold of anyone on call for an after hour emergency. The room had no power at all so we ended up packing and paying for another hotel room elsewhere after 30 minutes of trying to reach someone.
