This is a delightful small hotel with everything you need. It’s in a great location (south of town). Staff was super friendly and I especially loved the complementary bottled water and snacks in the room. Breakfast was nice. I’d stay here again for sure.

We loved the courtyard with pool and the general ambience of the place. We didn’t have a room with a Mountain View, but enjoyed the privacy of our first floor garden view room. Staff were very friendly and ready to help.

We found the breakfast more than adequate and enjoyed being able to sit by the pool with our morning coffee. The manager, Mark, who welcomed us, was extremely helpful showing my tech non-savvy husband how the very large TV worked and bringing round hot popcorn a short while later. The room was spotless and very comfortable with a great walk in shower.
