I didn’t even get to see the room, my family and I were stuck in traffic for HOURS, our check in time was at 4pm, we got to the hotel at 5:45pm or so to be told our room wasn’t even ready, they said to come back in an hour, we were starving so we went to eat and came back to the hotel over an hour later to be told once again that our room wasn’t ready, thats when i requested a refund, sadly there was another costumer being told the same thing about his room.

Easy late checkin! The staff called us and provided straightforward instructions. The room was basic but totally good for a night sleep. The walls are a little thin so you may have trouble sleeping in when the town wakes up and everyone is starting to get ready for the mountain.
