Categories

Cleanliness
5.2
Multiple guests reported dirty carpet, lingering odors, knats, old towels and inconsistent room cleaning — cleanliness is below average and a clear area for improvement.
Service
10
Front desk and on-site staff are repeatedly described as friendly and helpful; several guests praised individual staff members which supports a strong service rating (note: one report of no manager response about a missing item).
Location
10
Views and location are consistently praised (mountain-side setting, quiet and convenient); the view is a primary reason many stayed, warranting a top score.
Room Quality
5.4
Rooms show wear: old mattresses, uncomfortable beds, damaged balcony furniture, holes in drapes, poor lighting and occasional lack of TV channels — overall room quality is modest.
Amenities
5.8
Limited and inconsistent amenities: weak breakfast offerings, unmarked coffee pots, dark external elevator/lighting issues, but functional in-room fridge and basic conveniences.
Value for Money
8.1
Several reviewers noted the price was reasonable and acceptable for what they received (views and location boost perceived value), though some felt facilities should be better for the rate.
Food and Beverage
4
Breakfast was frequently called poor or minimal (limited cereals/waffles, cold coffee, no toast) and overall F&B is a weak point.
Overall Experience
8.3
Mixed overall: strong positives from the location, views and friendly staff lift many stays, but cleanliness, room condition and breakfast issues detract; net experience remains above midline due to the standout location and service.

Horrendous. Do yourself a favor and stay somewhere else.
Pros:

Not much. The location was the only good part.

Cons:

The hotel had rooms with decent views but they stuck everyone on the first few floors even though there was a ton of capacity to offer upper floors with views. So, we had a horrendous view of the parking lot instead of the mountains and valley. And, despite all the extra room, the booked someone directly above us and there is absolutely no noise protectection so we had to listen to someone clomp around all night. The breakfast was almost non-exiatant so no need to book for the "free" breakfast. Overall, not a great experience.

In need of some significant updates
Pros:

The views from the hotel were stunning and the lady at the front desk was lovely, but that’s about all the hotel had going for it.

Cons:

The owner should really invest in new mattresses and towels - these are upgrades that a hotel should consider essential. Especially towels are not an enormous cost, but would make a world of difference.

Would not visit this location again, or recommend it unless it gets updated and some issues taken care of
Pros:

Location

Cons:

The room had disgusting dirty carpet. The drapes had tiny holes all in them so when the sun came in all you saw were all these tiny holes in the drapes. The banister out on the balcony had all the paint peeled off of it. It needed to be painted. There was a black rocking chair and a white rocking chair out on the balcony. We sat in the black rocking chair and it fell apart almost the whole bottom rocker crumbled off of one side. The elevator was so dark you could not even see inside of it. For the money we paid we should’ve had a nicer room and facilities.

Already did
Pros:

The bed, friendly staff, clean. The property sits up on the side of a mountain. That was nice.

Cons:

The light in the front parking lot. There needs to be a shade because it was still coming in through the seams pretty bright. Otherwise it was great.

Nice little hotel, but needs better blackout curtains on the ground floor
Pros:

The location was quiet, quite a way off the interstate. We were greeted by this cute bear statue. Staff was friendly, and room was clean and comfortable.

Cons:

Our room on the ground floor had double doors in the back similar to the upper rooms with cute balconies, but it was right on the parking with a very bright light that is not sufficiently blocked from shining into the room. Took me quite awhile to fall asleep because of that.

Mixed feelings about this stay...
Pros:

The view was amazing (main reason i wanted to stay here). Room was spacious, air worked well, and the fridge kept our drinks cold.

Cons:

Booked a king bed, get there and he says they dont have any left. We get to our room, it hadn't been cleaned yet, so another trip back to the office. New room is on the 4th floor. So the next morning, I open our sliding door to see the view and I'm bombarded with cigarette smoke. Someone below is was smoking and it immediately fill our room with the stench. So, instead of enjoying the view, we were forced back inside.
