Overall I was disappointed in my stay here. It started by receiving a phone call from one of the managers who was rude and abrasive without cause. He was very unclear about check-in protocol, and basically said “I think your room is ready before 3pm, but don’t quote me on that I don’t know. You really could have called to figure it out instead of just planning on showing up at 3, you know.” When we got there, the room smelled musty and dank. The carpet obviously hadn’t been changed in 20 years, and there was mold in the shampoo dispensers in the shower. By running the cobweb-covered fan constantly we were able to lose most of the smell in the room which helped us sleep. The pool on the property was closed and in disarray. We faced more rudeness the following morning when we inquired as to where we should leave our room key after checkout. The worker seemed bothered that we asked and was abrasive in his response, saying “Do whatever you want. Give the key to me, leave it in your room, I don’t care.” Overall I would not stay here again and would not recommend this place to anyone else.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely be booking here again when we’re in the area. The tub was a definite plus, as was the bars on the side, I am partially handicapped so it meant a great deal to me to take a bath and feel safe in doing so.

A clean place to spend a night
Our room was clean and the beds are reasonably comfortable. We could hear noise from the bathroom next door in the morning well enough for it to wake us. The view of the mountains from our room was beautiful

Best part of the property is the panoramic view! Bathroom was very small with blue fixtures and tan and brown tiles from the sixties. No fan for ventilation. Room was clean but had a very slight odor. Beds were comfortable. Group of college kids came in late. They were outside and loud until after 11 pm
