The area was great, we visited in Dec. The location is 30ish minutes from downtown. Parking was a bit difficult. We had to park in the other lot mentioned, which is down a hill on the otherside of the building. We had to walk up a long hill in the windy cold which wasn't fun. Our room was very clean and spacious and the fold out bed worked well. We made sure to be mindful of the sheets since he mentioned paying for the sheets if any stains or damages were made. (keep that in mind if you have small children) The view is of the side road where you park. They are doing construction but we got a sight of some coyotes running down the side walk which was neat. It was a good value for the stay considering we stayed during New Years.
