The road up to the hotel was full of potholes. The toilet flushed slowly. It was hard to control the room temperature. We had to eat breakfast in our room due to construction.

This place is a joke. We booked it for the hot tub and pool for kids. The pool was green and nasty. The hot tub was cold and unuseable. There were no towels and mold everywhere. There was mushrooms growing inside window sills. When brought to staff attention the manager proceeded to grabbed the mushrooms and asked if we wanted to make spaghetti. Eww that can get you sick. The room was small and smelled funny. There was mold in the bathroom. Horrible place to stay. If it wasn’t so late we would’ve went somewhere else. Not happy. !!!!!

The Hotel was under renovations, the staff did not let us know we had figure this out on our own. The hotel was dirty and nasty. Bed was full of hair, sheets not changed at all. Washroom shower floor dirty, toilet disgusting, sink was dirty mirror not cleaned at all. Over all very unacceptable we left within 20 minutes after checking in totally unacceptable. Please train your staff to let customers know what is going on (renovations) provide a room that is clean and acceptable. thank you

The pool was advertised, but it was green with likely algae growth. The front desk told me it was supposed to look like that. The bath also had no stopper, which makes it hard to give baths to children. Ice machines didn't work.

Great place to stay at…
The room was very nice and our stay was good, close to where we needed to be to conduct business and see family and friends. The hotel was difficult to find but that was because we were not accustomed to the location. Would definitely stay here again.

The renovation was not complete for our room. The tv did not work. There was a layer of dust on the floor and bathroom vanity where our clothes and feet became filthy. We received a prank phone call at 11:30 at night. Not a relaxing stay.

The front desk staff were super nice, the breakfast was lovely, the main foyer was beautiful. The room was also okay. The washroom was quite great as well. Noise levels were lovely even with ongoing renos. Could not hear anyone next door. The shower was a bit confusing to start, but the water pressure was great after we got the handle on it. Would have loved if the AC unit fan actually stayed on when we pressed the continuously on button, but not the end of the world. Driveway up the hotel was a bit rough, many large pot holes, but the view once at the top of the sunset over the mountains was lovely.
