Top hotels in Downtown
Comfort Inn & Suites Midtown
Overall it was nice. A bit dated and smelly upon entry of the lobby. It was nice to be walking distance to dinning and shopping. The breakfast was a bit disappointing but not too bad.

Upper Canyon Inn & Cabins
The cabin was exactly what we needed for a restful weekend. Upon arrival it was very clean, the parking was sufficient for an our larger pickup, it was nice and quiet. Everything in the cabin worked properly.
