It could have been better
Pros:
*Quiet
*Clean room & bath
*Nicely remodeled
*Good breakfast
Cons:
*Uncomfortable foam mattress, hip area indented deeply and sinks too far
*No door/door frame gaskets allows hallway noise too much
*Hotel staffs do not greet guests
*It might be a little too far to walk 20 minutes in 15 degree weather to the main attraction of the town for some falks to avoid $4.50 an hour city parking fee.

Rude reception, heavy footsteps.
The reception we got on our arrival evening was rather rude for the young lady who apparently was trying to go through the motions of her job.
The rest of the stay was rather forgettable as our 2 rooms were booked on SEPARATE FLOORS. In addition we were routinely interrupted by the heavy feet of the guests above our room on the 2nd floor.
The staff were courteous the rest of our stay including the person who received us on our arrival .

Too loud, bad sound proofing.
Room 106 is just too noisy. It is on the ground floor and underneath the stairs and beside the elevator. Too many kids and guests stomp above you so you cannot have a restful sleep.

Comfortable stay.
Spacious room and bathroom, comfy bed. Great view of alpine coaster from ground floor room. Breakfast was good, and was changed up everyday. No daily cleaning, but you can ask the front desk if you need anything. Note that front desk is not manned during the night. Only drawback would be the noise from footsteps on the floor above, as well as being able to hear noises from the hallway.

Recently renovated. The room, lobby, hallways were in excellent condition. The rooms are not well insulated however and I could hear doors opening, closing, footsteps late into the night. Also would be good to have windows that could be easily accessible lock in a partially open position so could leave open. And please start breakfast at 6 not 7:30!
