Was a really quick stay for us but a place to fill our tummies and lay our heads it was amazing.
Pros:

We checked in very late, they kept the kitchen open for us so we could get some food!
In the rooms were treated with complimentary water bottles that were very much needed after a long travel day. There were even packaged ear plugs provided with a friendly heads up there may be some noise in our location.

Cons:

We had one of the smallest rooms in the facility which really was not a problem, we knew this going into it and absolutely adored it, was everything we wanted out of that value. The reason I mention it, is because it was a small room, the heater/ac unit that is on the wall is pretty close, maybe a few feet from that side of the bed so when the heat kicked on it was not quiet and may have woken us up a time or two.

I love
Pros:

Excellent location and the cafe/bar was so convenient. Having in-house food and lounges makes it feel less like a hotel and more like a getaway.

Cons:

Food/drinks at the cafe were a little pricey, but very, very good.

The breakfast was unique and delicious in the quaint Bistro setting. Crepes and coffee by the fireplace was a great way to spend a bitter-cold morning.

Cons:

No complaints.

Pros:

What a nice hotel! Very comfy feeling. The staff was friendly, and I love how it was decorated.

Cons:

My only complaint is that conditioner in the shower didn't work for my long hair. Next time I'll have to remember to bring my own.

Pros:

It’s portrayed as an upscale hotel and one of the more expensive hotels in the area but the conditions are sub par. Earplugs on the nightstand, ac was leaking so the carpet was wet, noisy pipes, very basic room that was double the price of a bigger and nicer place at a lower rated hotel. Staff was extremely friendly and professional.

Pros:

The staff was very, very nice and I had great interactions with all of them. The bistro is very cute and breakfast/coffee was delicious! The hotel was renovated, but my room wasn't cleaned particularly well. Some of the surfaces hadn't been wiped down and the carpeting had a lot of staining and it's probably time to replace it with something darker. Overall, the staff made it a really pleasant stay and it worked well for the one night I needed.

Pros:

Friendly and welcoming staff. Clean. Comfortable beds. Lighting inadequate. The area is not walkable and fronts onto a major highway intersection. A small restaurant with limited menu. Try out the yurt.
