Outstanding in every way!

Outstanding in every way - including some surprises! (1) Convenient location to downtown area of restaurants & shops good parking on hotel grounds. (2) Young man greeting us at reception @ 3 pm 6/21/2025 was very friendly, explained facilities well (3) 2nd floor room was very quiet: king bed was really comfy, bedding, size of room, big TV, nice WC, in room pod coffee maker, microwave & mini frig handy! (4) Went for Happy Hour at the steakhouse. Reg menu a bit pricey but HH was excellent. We got two $17 HH filet mignon cheeseburgers (wow!) came with skinny fries (bit salty) and we got a couple $6 HH beers. Reception gave us a $15 credit for an appie as a promo for their HH Adam (charming Scotsman) in the resto recommended the standard menu $19 (-$15 credit) wedge salad: blue cheese dressing & bacon - enough to share and the best wedge I've had. Our waitress was also lovely (missed her name). Really nice restaurant, outstanding food & great staff. (5) BONUS: they have a large W/D in their gym: free for hotel guests to use! All in all a great choice for Trail!
