A spacious and attractive lobby makes an inviting impression. Our room, with a balcony, faced the back side of the hotel. It offered a beautiful view of the grounds and mountains. The dining room and outdoor seating has the same great view. The staff was gracious and accommodating.

It was clean and spacious. No restaurant but the other hotel beside it has a restaurant welcoming the public, like 30 seconds across the parking lot. Feel confident in parking my car here. Very happy.
