“Nestled with views overlooking the mountains, this property's distance from town is offset by a convenient, scheduled shuttle; its sizable pool and spa are real assets. Rooms are clean, but some areas show their age, and soundproofing could be improved. While the location is a consideration, the views and amenities make it a worthwhile option.”
