I didn’t realize I booked a petite room but other than getting around our luggage in the tight space, the room was nice, bed was comfortable and nicely decorated. The hotel is close to the areas of interest and shops.

Mountain view was beautiful. Room was huge for a double bed occupancy- you get an entire upstairs area for kitchen, dining and relaxing. Hot water in the shower area had a bit of issue but bath tub worked fine. Enjoyed our stay as the area is quiet, safe plus we got to see some stars out of balcony at night. Breakfast was delicious.

4/10 Fair

Great location but the standard room accommodation is simply too small to accommodate one or more large suitcases. We had to leave two suitcases in our car and step over our smaller carry on cases. We’ve never been in such a small room despite 40 years of travel.

Everything was generally great. Had to carry our suitcase up the staircase but the room view was worth it. Parking could be slightly difficult if you're late but everything else was okay. Location is super close to the visitor center. Breakfast was exceptionally delicious. Love it!

We booked a standard room and there was barely enough room for 2 people and our suitcases. We found it expensive for that room. Other then that, the bed was comfortable, location was good and all the amenities were fine.
