Room and lobby are tidy and clean. They are remodeling so there are things that are not 100% at this time. The staff is quick to assist and please you. Sometimes something is missing. The board was there but no iron. Just ask. It is pretty nice and will be amazing soon. I hope it doesn't lose it's ski resort vibe. A lot of places are losing their personality.

Room was clean, water pressure was good. Bed was fine. The property outside of the room was run down and overgrown. That being said, all I wanted was a clean room and that is what I got. So, I’d stay again.

this hotel isn’t perfect but its cheap, $300 for three nights not so bad if you decide to get a hotel cheap don’t expect it to be perfect. my experience was okay the lights flickered and shut off nothing a window cant help though. bed was clean and everything was decently clean they do need to check under things while cleaning bcz i found some deodorant and condoms😂but overall it was fine we didnt stay the whole day we went out. nobody came into our room and bothered our belongings so thats a plus. If your on a budget go here no bed bugs no bad things but if you are a little more bougie find somewhere else

This hotel is not ready to be open. This looks like another Wyndham property that is refurbished as a budget hotel. Lots of things not ready yet. Elevator out of order, ice machine (first floor) out of order, ice machine (second floor) so dirty, I didn't wouldn't take ice. Room furniture very old, desk chair broken, hallway light burned out making it very dark. Breakfast was subpar, even for a budget hotel. Constuction material still in various places. Parking lot area overgrown. The saving grace was the room and bed were clean. Stayed Oct 4 - 5 2025

They are in the process of renovating old, neglected property. Our room was clean. However, the breakfast was skimpy to nonexistent, the TV had no cable service to it, and the pools (inside and outside) were out of service. I would not recommend staying here until the renovations are completed. The staff is very nice though and apologetic of the conditions.

Horrible Hotel!!!

Hotel is in poor condition. First arrived was given a key that didn’t open door. Had to return to front desk and be given another room. Once in the room no microwave was there and the tv didn’t work. Had to return to front desk to tell them that the tv didn’t work as there was no phone in the room to call the front desk! Pool was closed! Elevator was out of service! The hotel breakfast was doled out. I asked for more bagels and they brought out 3! The hotel gets a zero! We will never return again!!!!
