Very reasonable price for a fantastic location. Easy to walk to downtown. Good view (had “superior room” with outdoor balcony.) Underground parking was very convenient. Staff friendly, but wasn’t sure of front desk staffed hours time. Sauna and hot tub were great to use after hiking, the amenities in the health club/spa area are dated / small but everything was in working order.

Our room was clean and fresh smelling when we arrived. The amenities were wonderful and when we asked about a microwave, the agent at the desk offered that they could send a microwave up to our room. That was super nice. The housekeepers did a wonderful job and when I left them a note requesting cleaning needs, they followed up perfectly. The location of the hotel is perfect-close to restaurants and downtown attractions and shopping.
