It was the greatest place to stay. It is right up tge street from downtown. Our room had a great view of tunnel mountain from our patio. There were lots of trails close for hiking. The outside staff were all very friendly. They were all over making the grounds look great by raking, watering and putting in new plants. The hot tub was spacious and clean. The restaurant had a great buffalo burger. We would absolutely stay tgere again.
