We'll be staying here again

This was a nice enough stay overall, but a lot different than what I was expecting. First, there was a discrepancy in what room type Orbitz portrayed as being booked and what was actually booked. I booked a Premium King room through Orbitz; this apparently did not actually mean a Premium King as described on the hotel's website, but rather a studio king room which is more in-line with the Classic King (but also not because the hotel attendant said it's the Classic King room which is larger and comes with a separated dining area). Upon bringing it to the hotel staff's attention a few days into my stay, I was informed this was a 3rd-party booking site problem and basically that was that. Would that have ultimately made a difference in the other quirky aspects of my stay? Maybe, maybe not. The property has been through a lot since its inception, despite its renovations (read: paint and fixtures). There were several issues with the main entry door, bathroom door, and large window in our room, primarily w/ incomplete closure and weather-stripping. The bathroom door was wonky such that it couldn't close all the way and if you forced it, you're likely to be stuck. Lack of good exterior door/window seal allowed worms into the unit every evening! Did NOT enjoy that whatsoever, and no towels against the door could stop them. TP and towels were very thin, breakfast was OK. Bad industrial smells in courtyard some days. Restaurant next door can be very loud on weekends at close.

A nice gem of a stay, but some management issues. Alice was amazing & provided a warm welcome & was receptive to any concerns. They have a known ant issue, when I brought it up that they were getting into my items and food on the kitchen counter, and in the bathroom, Alice radioed the request. Confirmed they have a known issue but do not use any spray or service to treat it. Was told by management to keep my food in the fridge, which was impossible as I had lots of backpacking provisions. I left my food in the car, and hoped ants hadn’t infiltrated any of my other items. Could be a breaking point of a several week hiking trip. Was told I could sprinkle ground cinnamon… being 8pm at night, the guest of the space, and no grocery store nearby, was a ridiculous suggestion. Property should already be managed well and in good condition for a night’s stay. Responsibility should not fall on the guest. Eventually they sent cleaning crew to do spot mopping and some basic treatment. If they figure out the ant issue would be 5 stars. Traveler beware. The space itself is very quiet, beautiful views, and central location to hiking.

The building itself is clean and well kept. Would be nice if parking lot was paved. Shower was an afterthought. So tight you can't bend over.
