8/10 Good
"The room was relatively clean, the beds were comfortable and freshly made but the floors didn't seem vacuumed. I found some old popcorn under the desk. The furniture was a little old and scraped up and needed two be dusted but the bathroom was really nice. The amenities themselves were nice. The building and the area around it was super clean and the lobby was nice . Having the bar and the restaurants in the lobby was really nice and convenient. The breakfast was good. It was a little weird though, I ordered the same thing two days in a row and they were different. Could have been different chefs but on the first day I got three pancakes with a cup of whipped cream, a cup of strawberries and a cup of syrup and on the second day I got two pancakes with no whip cream and no strawberries. Our server the second day wasn't very friendly but our server the first day, Sindi, was super friendly and very efficient. Overall it was a decent stay. It was very convenient to everything and the Mountain View was spectacular. Just a note for anyone reading this a lot of people were talking about the Bears and how they thought they would attack them. I don't think they will, just stay away from them and lock your car doors. And do yourself a favor don't eat outside at the restaurants."
