Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities

The views from the balcony were beautiful and it was very calming listening to the sound of the flowing water. Overall the room was relatively clean, the water pressure was great and the staff was friendly and helpful. The building could use some updates but overall a good experience. Extra bonus, We were able to see a bear from the parking lot.
