Everything was fine other than policy. Charging a fee in advance for any potential damage is counter productive. It shows Pikes lack of trust for its customers. Tragic!

Fun, cute, and quirky hotel that we really enjoyed. It’s a little farther from downtown but there’s a lot to do on the hotel property. The staff were very nice and helpful with things like tour recommendations, and the included breakfast was very good.
