"Suite with a walk-in shower. Fantastic experience!"

Foothills Inn

8/10 Good

"We liked the location and the room was fine. The bed was very comfortable and nice. The only thing that I think could be improved were the stains on the carpet and chair. It was noticeable and i thought maybe they could shampoo the carpet and spot clean the chair. We enjoyed our stay, the price was right. Thanks"
