Check in staff was great. The room smelled very musty and damp. Set my and my wife’s allergies into high gear! The breakfast area was dirty and unattended with overflowing trash cans.

Checked out by Hotel before we were ready

The property was very clean. Room and pool were nice. However the hotel checked us out before we were ready. We left at 7:30 for an event, stopped by the front desk before leaving to advise them that we were headed out but we would be back before our check out time (12 pm). They said ok, thats fine. My husband returned at 10:45 and housekeeping was in the room cleaning it for the next occupants. We advised them we hadn't even checked out and intended to still use the room (as we STILL needed it). Frustrated. Im curious what they would have done with our belongings had we let them in the hotel. It also doesn't set right with me that housekeeping entered a room that was being paid for, when the sign states they only do a cleaning on the 3rd day of your stay.

I wouldn’t exactly call having a grab bar on the outside of the tub a fully accessible room. This was very unacceptable. The room and bathroom are very spacious but not accessible with lack of a higher toilet or more grab bars.

Very clean, but minor check in problem

Very clean! A variety of tasty breakfast options, better than 80% of hotels I’ve stayed in. Bed was softer than I like, but many people might prefer that. Receptionist accidentally gave me and the family that checked in after me rooms already occupied by other guests. A/C in room 321 a little noisy, but they might fix that soon.

This is our third stay at this hotel. It is clean, comfortable, and just off 81. It is our way station on the way to a further destination. The people here are pleasant and exceedingly kind. I enjoy the breakfast before we head out on thw road again. On a long drive, I like knowing that I will hop in their pool and hot tub at the end of the day. It has a miuntain view as does my room. This is a very clean, safe, and comfortable place to stay. Well done!
