The room was an older remodel but clean and comfortable. No complaints about the room, I was expecting clean and not the ritz. The room key de-activated 3 of the 5 days I stayed there this trip and I do not know why. I have stayed here 4 times, I keep coming back so it must be good.

Travelled out west for customer, first time this far west. Got 2 rooms. Neither room was very clean. Cracked and missing pieces in the bathtub (assume it was an overlay). Stains on the sheets and duvet cover. Chair in room was broken down. Lights would turn on and off of their own accord. While there (5 nights) 4 nights in a row it sounded like the room next door was doing remodeling. Loud bang noises, thumps, crashes. Multiple hours into the early morning (2-3 am). Staff was friendly. Breakfast was normal hotel breakfast and available right on time.
