We came in earlier than check-in because we just happened to arrive early, the front desk pwrson not only very kindly let us check-in early, but was just incredibly kind, lovely and a true pleasure to meet. The space is so cozy, (Im in love with the soap selections), beautiful views and just an all around marvelous experience. We have most definitely found the spot we will be loyally using going forward! Thank you to you all! :)

The room we stayed in was renovated at some point in the past few years, though not very well. In the washroom the toilet paper dispenser was broken off the wall and had some gummy material keeping it somewhat "stuck" to the wall; but unusable as it was right by the toilet and whenever you bent over you hit it and it would peel off the wall. Kept the toilet paper atop the tank for 4 nights. The room was right above the outdoor patio, most of the reno'd rooms are facing that direction unfortunately. It was warm, and with no AC, we had to keep the sliding doors open but closed the blackout shades otherwise the people dining below and walking across the street could see your every move. If there was AC would could just close them at night without feeling like we were in a sauna. It was a noisy as the pub was open until 1am and, cant blame anyone for having fun, but yes, loud music, talking, and obnoxious intoxicated people made it more loud into the night. Again nothing AC and isolating patio doors can't fix. For the high price, these simple improvement could mean a repeat stay. We head to the Rockies every year for long stretches of hiking... this could be a great place.

we recently stayed at this place for one night, and it was far from pleasant. Upon entering our room, we noticed it was dusty and even found spiders around. It felt unkempt and uncomfortable. Our experience took a turn for the worse when we returned to the hotel late in the evening like around 10pm. We saw a drunk guy in the parking lot who approached us, making us feel unsafe. This was not the kind of environment we expected. The next day, when we checked out, we wanted to share our concerns with the front desk. The staff member we spoke to was unhelpful and dismissive. After explaining our issues, she said she would talk to her manager but returned with no resolution. Instead of an apology, we were told that we were simply seeking a discount. We weren’t asking for that; we just wanted to communicate our experience. Her rudeness left us feeling even more offended. Overall, our stay was disappointing, and we won’t be returning. There are definitely better options out there.
