Solid Central Stay

perfect locationlovely viewgreat heatcold check-in
The location was very central. The mountain view was great. The room included everything a guest needed. The heat pump worked very well, and they had chrome casting.
The hotel room was clean, and the beds were comfortable. check-in lacked any real warmth. It was slow. The staff provided no guest services information. They just directed me to my room.
