This location was in the thick of everything. Within close walking distance to shopping, bars, restaurants.

Bring an extra bag for garbage if you plan on staying more than 4 nights.

Underwhelming. This is a very ordinary hotel, despite the hot tubs, pool and spa. The decor is vile, all dull browns with turquoise. In the “Troutbeck” room there is a nasty trip hazard into the bathroom. A stubbed toe was annoying but a cracked skull would have been more so. Tip: if it’s not fixed ...
