The facility did warn that stairs were required to reach the second story rooms in the annex. It did not inform us that it was actually two flights of very steep stairs. Given the altitude it was a challenge for those of us from the eastern coast to carry baggage up them easily especially for those having arthritis, pulmonary or coronary conditions.

Beautiful historical building. Convenient to the downtown area replete with shopping, restaurants, and libations. Only con was the tub. It was a jetted tub with a high rim that had to be stepped into for the shower. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff.
