There was a random Dorito under our bed from the previous visitor.... But the staff was very accommodating. We had to check in late due to me having to go to the ER in Denver for an injury. They did accidentally leave the key to the wrong room but some one came to the property within 10minutes to give us the correct key.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort
The TV in our room was not hooked up and annoying after being out all day and wanting to just come home and relax. The assigned parking places are stated in the rooms, but not outside of the room so when we got home, somebody had parked in our place. There was no way to let the person know that took the spot that it was reserved for the room. Other than coffee, no beverages were offered for breakfast and it was minimal at best.

We didn't get the room we booked. We weren't told at check in and only discovered it when we got to our room. We were told that all the fireplace rooms were unavailable due to water damage. However, this morning at check out I was told these rooms weren't available anyway as they are being renovated. Disappointing experience. Why book these rooms if you know you are renovating them and they won't be available?
