the walking paths near the room were amazing and presented wildflowers. volcanic features abounded throughout the area. i appreciated the breakfast buffet and its variety. the exterior access from each room made aurora viewing effortless (an unexpected perk!).

mediocre stay with some issues

good breakfastdamaged walluncomfortable mattress
the breakfast buffet offered a good selection of items and was quite enjoyable.
The room lacked proper upkeep. I notice damage to the walls from previous attachments that was not repaired. the mattress springs were quite noticeable and uncomfortable. also, the shower was small and caused water to spread all over the bathroom floor.

I noticed some stains on the bedding. (i hoped it was just a one-off thing). the placement of the hotel safe was awkward. I kept bumping my knee on it when getting up. also, the refrigerator in the room was very loud. i found this quite disappointing considering the high prices.
