The rooms were horrid. It had an awful smell to them, bugs in them and I found blood on the walls. I am flabbergasted at how this hotel is even standing. The reviews in it must be fake because no way this hotel is an 8. On top of that, the staff were extremely rude from the get go. The front desk guy named Greg was extremely unfriendly and not willing to assist us with any questions we had. Would just plain ignore us and give us attitude. Should reconsider hiring someone at front desk because he lacks in basic costumer service. There was also no hot water in all rooms. Everyone at the hotel were complaining about it. It was a cold night and the fact that no hot water was there was very concerning. Overall a horrible experience here and we left once we saw the conditions of the rooms. We didn't even get a full refund so just avoid this hotel at all costs and save yourself the headache.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities

Room was disgusting, blood stains, bugs in room, doors not closing or locking properly, dirty bed sheets & was told bugs in the room are expected because it’s the mountains. Multiple guests checking in that day had similar complaints, and after 13+ hours of travel our party checked in to four separate rooms and three rooms had no access to hot water & one room lost hot water access mid shower in cold weather conditions & was told we needed to wait for the plumber to come and wait an hour for functioning water. Horrible guest experience, save yourself the trouble and book elsewhere. High ratings are likely a scam because it does not match the condition of the property, the customer service, or the condition of the rooms. Would have given zero stars if possible.
