I did not like the condition of the property the hallways and the main entrance very dirty, elevators not clean at all, I don't think I would like to stay at the property again due to the fact that is not well kept, extremely run down.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Loved the hot pool annd mountain surroundings Room is newly renovated and in a good state. Only downside is lack of daily room cleaning and air conditioning. When it’s 34 degrees outside it’s pretty warm inside and takes forever to cool down. If they even added portable a/c would probably improve the hotel immensely.

Despite the room being clean when checking in it was still dirty. Numerous issues were found in the room (sink clogged etc.). Signage to the room was confusing and no elevator or easy access to the 5th floor.
