The hotel was great. Very clean and staff was welcoming. We booked a room facing the mountain. The view was great and also looked down onto the pool deck, which had a giant chess set, giant Connect Four, giant Jenga, corn hole, and a firepit. The base's gate is on that side, which is less picturesque, along with the freight train running on that side but is barely audible from the room. There was a cute stuffed bear in our room but unfortunately he was quite pricey! We had one very delicious breakfast there but didn’t use any other amenities because we were out and about most of the time. We plan to stay here each time we visit the area!
