It was confused at first where to park the car. We had a van and it was not easy to park in the back. The lobby and common area looked very old and not very clean, but the room is very clean.

Decent hotel

The hotel is in a good location, we had a first floor room that was clean and comfortable, but only 3 accessible electrical outlets to charge devices. It was also inconvenient having to check in/out at the hotel next door. However, I would stay there again as parking was included.

Enjoyed the property for the location and size of the room. Staff were great upon checking and through out. Daily housekeeping only upon request and condition of the hotel requires maintenance and upkeep. While hotel listing says mountain view rooms, this needs to be specifically asked for upon booking and it will only be provided upon availability. As others have said, costs reflect proximity and location.
