Clean and quiet, and pet friendly. The property backs up to the mountains, has a fenced dog run and lots of open space, and is also right next to a cute walking trail.

My one issue is that, for whatever reason, we had to switch rooms partway through our 11-day stay. The front desk said they would move our things from one room to another for us (which I appreciate, because we had a TON of stuff) but we also had two dogs with us, and there were no accommodations to be made during the 3-hour difference between checking out of our old room and checking in to our new room.

Now, I am absolutely NOT expecting the hotel to board or watch my dogs for me, but the front desk wasn't even helpful in recommending pet-friendly restaurants, trails, parks, etc. in the area. I wasn't even told if I could sit with my two dogs and my laptop in the lobby and wait it out. When I asked if there were any pet-friendly places around, the front desk just told me there were a couple of boarding places I could leave them for doggy daycare.

I would highly suggest that the management have some kind of list of pet-friendly establishments or things to do in the area for your out-of-town guests. This was my biggest frustration during our stay. Otherwise, everything was good and ultimately, I would stay again.
