Great location, the hotel is okay but not worth the price. The facilities and the building in general feel a bit old and could use some updates. The bathroom only has the basics — no shower cap or extra amenities. The TV had just one channel to watch movies, which was disappointing. Also, the breakfast was quite expensive for what it offered. Overall, it was fine for a short stay, but I expected more for the price.

Good location, beautiful mountain view from main street, lots of shops to browse, complimentary underground parking was excellent, good food at The Keg on site. However, furnishings were tired-looking; usual bathroom amenities were lacking (had to request a shower cap).. I was offended by $100 damage deposit; also it took a week to reimburse that charge on my credit card!

Everything was great with the exception of 2 things. 1) I booked a room with Queen size beds. The beds we got were doubles. 2) our room was right over the hotel receiving bay, so at all hours of the night we would hear trucks backing up and people going in and out.
