Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The only reason we booked the property was for the pool & hot tub for the kids. Neither were working, apparently for many months. That should be updated on this site. Multiple smoke detectors in the hallway beeped 24/7 with guests scurrying out at night to try to disable. I told the front desk & nothing was done. TV didn’t work properly & beds were uncomfortable. I’d suggest staying in Durango.

Was convenient for our one night stay. Clean and cozy. We had a conjoined door which made it easy to hear guests next door. Our tv didn’t work at all and it took us a good hour to get the heater to work right.

We were only disappointed that the pool and jacuzzi were under construction/renovation - we were looking forward to warming up! But that was not the fault of the staff or any mis-administration.
