Clean and had easy access to EV chargers. Would be better with a tv in the room. But we knew ahead of time there wasn't one.

Very friendly staff! We got back to our room in the evening on Valentines Day to find a very cute goodie bag outside our room for our Daughter with snacks, candy, and little toys from the Hotel staff. We really appreciated the kind gesture. The hot tubs work great and sit on the 4th floor with a nice Mtn.view. They sell Starbucks coffee and although it's from a machine the Chai Latte tasted no different than buying it from Starbucks itself. We loved our stay. We will be back!
