We had some challenges with the room cleanliness- first room the floor had mud on it and tub was dirty, then next room one of the beds had stained sheets. GM was happy to hear feedback and I know it’s hard to get good staff. It’s a good location to be close to foods and downtown. Nice view from room.

Our room had a beautiful panoramic view over the Western valley, an excellent Indian Restaurant ( Flavours of India) is right next door with a similarly spectacular view & we woke to the sound of song birds cavorting outside our window. Precious.
