“This place strikes me as a reliable choice for visitors keen on exploring the downtown area, with walkable access to the Sky Lift and nearby attractions. I noticed that some rooms are located in a separate building, offering potentially quieter stays and mountain views. It appears to be a solid option for those prioritizing location and basic comfort.”
