Lovely stay in the mountains

spacious room good feature helpful staff
It had a fireplace, a good feature (especially in the evenings). I also found the front desk staff very helpful with directions each day.
The check-in process felt a little impersonal, I think more engagement would elevate the experience.

Acceptable stay downtown

beauty room convenient location untrained staff expensive breakfast
I liked the convenient location to town! It was great, and I walked to many coffee shops and restaurants nearby. The room also had a beauty room with a fireplace. The bathroom was huge, too.
The staff seemed poorly trained, impacting the service. The breakfast cost a lot and I thought its quality was poor. The lobby's atmosphere was uninviting. The fireplace never had a fire.

small room unhelpful staff
the room i got, a standard room one queen, was smaller than i anticipated (based on the pictures i saw before). it felt a bit cramped, especially with luggage. also, the front desk staff didn't seem particularly helpful when i asked about local hiking trails, disappointing. i expected more enthusiasm and local expertise.
