8.6/10 Excellent! (228 reviews)
The property is old and dated, but was nice. They have an indoor swimming pool and hot tub, with a great view of the mountain. The lobby is nice, and the grills outside were nice because of the garden area.

9/10 Wonderful! (775 reviews)
Great location and the room is clean and comfortable. It's not fancy but we just slept there. There is no staff on site, you have to go to the property across the street. The wifi went out so that made the TV unusable, but all in all the stay was fine.

8.2/10 Very Good! (743 reviews)
The property is older but well maintained. The unit we were assigned had an old, lumpy or cheap mattress and the headboard squeaks when you move in the bed.
