8.4/10 Very Good! (311 reviews)
It was in a beautiful mountain location and pet friendly,located near shops and restaurants. There was no staff on site but you could call for assistance. Both the lobby and room coffee stations were poorly stocked. One had no creamer and the other no coffee. Coffee pods for the room did not fit the machine. The lobby coffee area did not have a trash can. People just left trash on the coffee station. I am picky about property upkeep, So I noticed all the dirty doors and baseboards. The shower was new but no caulking on the bottom which looked dirty and possibly a little moldy. It wasn't horrible but I would expect more for my money.
