Spring break

Spring break. Perfect location to walk to Heavenly and casinos. Breakfast was nice and the staff is great. The elevator in the back is a bit scary a walking up 3 flights 3-4 times a day was a little exhausting. The channels on the TV are minimal.

In need of maintenance and renovation

I have stayed at this hotel many times over the years and will be staying for a week in two weeks time. There is a need for some maintenance and renovation to return the hotel to its former fine state. The heating only blew cold air. The friendly staff changed my room so I could stay warm. My new room was fine, the heating worked, but the TV and coffee machine did not work because the power supply was faulty. The breakfast is excellent, although the breakfast room is small and crowded. Lastly, the strong WiFi signal was not connected to the internet. When I called about this I was told it was the whole hotel. It was eventually fixed but the security level is so poor my MacBook did not want me to connect. I hot spotted through my iPhone.
