Great hotel, room was a good size and there were plenty of food and drink options. Staff super friendly. Nice bathroom. There were children screaming all day/night in the room next to mine, and they kept trying to open the adjoining door, which resulted in very little sleep for me, but that's not the hotel's fault.

Loved all the amenities and the room overall was very clean and comfortable. The view of the valley was an added bonus. I loved having a gas station and family entertainment center so close by! Would have given this hotel 5 stars but the check in staff are not welcoming or customer service friendly. Entered the lobby and with three staff members at the check in desk, it took awhile before anyone greeted me or even looked to acknowledge a customer was present. Also, the pool is very small.
