So... the suite was nice. Spacious, well decorated, clean... But, I've stayed at a lot of $400/$500 plus a night places.. and for the price, I would not stay here again.
It does clearly state that check in, isn't until 4pm..I get that.. BUT, honestly, I have NEVER had to wait until the actual check-in time, EVER!! Until now. (I would prefer giving 2.5 stars, but not an option)
I will say the staff did provide us with Public Transportation Tickets to use while we waited for the room. And, we much appreciated that.
The room did have issues.. the heater (no
a/c, heat only) made a really loud noise every time it was shutting off, so we turned it off to sleep. The shower curtain was stained across the bottom. I'm the first to admit that my own shower curtain is too (LOL), but I don't pay $400+ a night at my house or have housekeeping. The bathtub faucet was very loose, making it hard to regulate the water temperature. Lastly, the toilet...handle was really hard to push, and then it would make a loud sound as if you broke the tank lid, and the bowl was stained. (Am I picky? No, I'm actually not. I'm just observant. And paying a lot to stay here)
The view.. well, it was "ok" . I will attach photos. We were above and to the right of the entrance, room #330.
The Hot Tub.. pretty neat! Until 7 kids come jumping in. One about 3 years old holding his private part saying he needed to go to the bathroom, yet never left the hot tub area . I get it, I too have (now grown) children. Kids love the pool and tubs! That's great and expected.. But, we waited until 9:30pm to go thinking we were safe. 2 other couples did the same. We all ended up leaving. It would be nice to have an adult only designated time.
Location... wasn't terribly. But, it was one of the farthest from "down town".
To sum it up.. "nice" place. Not worth the price, in my opinion. I would not stay there again.
We just got back. Staff was super friendly, helpful with suggestions etc. Room was clean. With the hot weather we found it kept us up at night due to no air conditioning. It could definitely use some updates, only 1 ice machine for everyone, located near the parking garage.nice having chillis right downstairs and that they have a dog friendly patio!
I loved the location of this hotel. I also came to appreciate that Chili's was inside if you were pressed for time. The staff was very helpful and friendly, they made the place! It is a nice place, and we had room to spread out as we were there for a week. The room was a bit dark, and the floor seemed a tad uneven (sloping), but other that...it was perfect for what we needed... a place to sleep after hiking all day. 👊🏼❤️
