Friendly staff. Good location to walk to restaurants and park w bike trail. No restaurant or bar operating currently as shown in listing. First room was tired, door to deck jammed, no screen. Deck furniture dirty, couldn’t use. Moved us to another room that was better, spacious ADA king suite w view from deck of fireworks. Breakfast was partially defrosted baked goods and prepackaged fruit cups. We found good bakeries nearby and made our own breakfast in room.

This hotel is outdated but the staff are okay. For the price I have paid it is not worthy it. I don’t blame for the hotel but I definitely overpaid via hotels.com because the receipt I got from the hotel was way much cheaper than I have booked on hotels.com.

We liked our corner room although the walls were very thin so we were awoken by our neighbors talking loudly the first night. The second night, after a long day of skiing we were looking forward to the hot tub but were told it was closed and to “try again tomorrow.” The third night we did go in the hot tub and it was pretty dirty and didn’t appear to have been cleaned in awhile.
