The hotel is quite pricey, costing us $420 for three nights, but it's situated in a great location that makes it easy to explore the town on foot. The hot tubs and pool area were a hit with the kids, but the breakfast service was slow, and parking was a real hassle, which put a damper on our stay overall.

Our room was clean and comfortable, featuring a nice little balcony with a view of the mountains and city. However, the space was tight, and we noticed an odd smell that hinted at previous guests who may have smoked.

We had a really lovely stay at this hotel, with a charming room that included a nice balcony. The indoor and outdoor pools were enjoyable, though the towels could definitely use some improvement. The complimentary breakfast was excellent, and the location was peaceful at night, making for a perfect family getaway. However, there were some challenges with parking and waiting for our rooms on check-in.
