I have been to this hotel several times. However I won’t be returning as the shower ran cold. The front desk told me to run it for 10 minutes. Still no change in temperature. Got late for my meeting and had to have a cold shower. Very disappointed.

The staff at the hotel were extremely accommodating and kind during a very stressful visit for my mom and I. The hotel itself is in a great location, very clean and we would definitely visit again. It’s very close to the foothills hospital and the area the hotel is in has many restaurants and a grocery store .A big thank you to David at the front desk for being extra kind and helpful during our stay.

Love the decor and overall vibe of this hotel. The spotless rooms have everything you need, from thoughtful design and great touches in the bathroom and cozy beds. The staff were all amazing and helpful too. This hotel is on a street full of coffee/dining options with a little flare. Loved this spot and highly recommend it for a great stay.

It doesn’t feel like the type of property that rents to high school groups but it does. The building doesn’t really have capacity for the (not enough parking) and not enough elevators. Then the hallways are loud when high school groups are there. Don’t rent to these groups!
