Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
I called to advise them of late arrival and they helped make arrangements to check-in after hours. There is a great view of the mountains from the parking area, and it is walking distance to cafes. Furnishings were stylish and modern and looked recently updated. Its goregeous inside. Linens were soft, nice pillows. They definitely seem to be trying to give you a touch of a premium at a budget price. I definately felt like a great bargain and was a pleasant surprise.
