Not great

We hated this hotel. The check in was odd. It had a kiosk with a zoom call to India. But beyond that it made me feel unsafe. When we tried to get into our room, which was tricky, there were some other guests screaming and barefoot. I realized that there was no one who we could complain to! It is just me and my son and we felt unsafe (which I realize is different from being unsafe). The hotel is on the freeway and it was noisy. Both the bed and towels had hairs on them. They shower was an overhead rain shower but on the outer edge of the curtain so it didn't spray well and got water all over the bathroom. While this wasntthe worst stay I have had, it wasn’t great and we got out as soon as we could.

Nicely updated. Great staff. But heater didnt work. And only sheet and super thin cover which typically goes on top of comforter was on both beds. Staff would have probablybrong some but we were beat tired to even call in the middle of the night after long day of hiking.

Quick overnight.

Just needed the room for a night. We checked in right before bedtime. The room was clean, comfortable. Got up showered and left. It's just what we needed. The pool was covered and seemingly not available for guest use. Didn't matter to us. But if anyone's thinking about going there and using the pool I would call ahead first.

Hike it up, mister

Flew in for our son’s graduation to realize all the prices increased. 550. for 2 days for a very SMALL room. Couldn’t fit through to get to the bathroom. Sticky stuff on the hangers, non foam mattresses.

Check in was easy. Could use a coffe pot in the room. Comforter has a cigarette burn on it and this is a non smoking room. Everything else was pretty good.
