convenient stay

clean hotel truck parking cozy room
the hotel was clean and well appointed. parking suited my truck with its 7'6' clearance. this was a big plus, especially given the cold temperature. i also enjoyed the complimentary breakfast and the bar was convenient. the room itself was super cute and cozy for a good night sleep.
a fire alarm went off one day and there were hardly any staff present. there were no updates, no reassurance, no fire wardens. i went back to my room, though nobody confirmed it was safe.

Acceptable Stay, Some Issues Noted

noisy room overcrowded breakfast area
The hotel's location was conveniently close to downtown.
Our room was quite noisy. It was located near the elevators and housekeeping activities early in the morning were disruptive. The breakfast area was also overcrowded and not consistently refreshed .

My room featured underfloor heating in the bathroom. This was a HUGE plus. I appreciated the two hot tubs and sauna available. The provision of free s'mores each afternoon was fun.
The breakfast area got a little crowded at peak times. This made finding a table challenging.
